Official summary

It may be necessary to reboot the RNS315 navigation unit, due to either, update programming stalled, or recoding. In order to reboot the unit, hold down the ?power? and ?eject? buttons at the same time until the unit switches ?OFF?. You should see the software screen once the unit powers back up indicating a successful reboot.

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.
