Official summary

Flash: Dead Battery This Bulletin involves updating the Fold and Stow Module (FSM) with new software because the FSM stays awake resulting in a continuous electrical draw. The customer may experience a dead battery.

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.
