Official summary

Vehicles equipped with optional vehicle theft security system/vehicle theft alarm (vtss/vta) must have had the engine started and allowed to run for 6 seconds or longer, 20 times before the vtss/vta system is fully functional.

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.
