Official summary

When replacing the 7 speed DSG transmission, the K0 clutch actuator may come with a yellow and black plastic plug installed, as shown in figure 1. This plug should be removed and replaced with the aluminum plug found in the original K0 clutch actuator, figure 2. The yellow and black plastic plug should be reinstalled in place of the plug on the original transmission.

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.
