Official summary

For communication faults set in various modules indicating loss of, or no communication with the mechatronic, please inspect the barrel connector lock for proper installation. If you find that the connector was not properly secured, inspect the terminals for damage. If no damage is found, reconnect the barrel connector and clear the faults.

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.
