Official summary

You must create a Volkswagen Technical Assistance (VTA) ticket and call the Tehnical Helpline prior to performing any repairs.

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.
