Official summary

GASKET, Timing Case Cover, Rear Gear Housing For 2021 Model Year only. If you are replacing the timing gear housing gasket due to an oil leak, please be sure to also replace all outer timing gear housing bolts (PN# 04638665 and 04882109). Do not discard these bolts as engineering will be requesting them to be returned for analysis.

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.
