If BT-Audio Autoplay is on (checked), switch selection off and retest for concern. If radio software is 0016 or 0007, radio may require software update as per TB 91-13-05 (2031136) to allow BT-Audio Autoplay to switch off.

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.
