Official summary

Due to an installation error, the crankshaft sensor connector may not have been properly locked. In very rare cases, the plug connection may become disconnected. If no signal is sent by the crankshaftsensor, the engine will switch to emergency operation and a Check Control message will occur.

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.
