Official summary

Some vehicles were part of the TDI Buyback and Remarketing program and received only the Step 2A portion of the 23Y8 Action. Customers purchasing these vehicles are entitled to a no-charge replacement of the Emissions Control Module (DOC/DPF/SCR) once the vehicle accumulates more than 70,000 miles. Update to procedure.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
