Official summary

The customer reports that the Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) does not respond to the "Hey BMW" wake up word, or to the push-to-talk (aka voice activation) button on the steering wheel. Also, various voice commands are possibly not correctly executed.

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.
