Official summary

Whenever an oil pressure sensor is replaced, be sure to check the polarity of the terminals in the harness connector. Incorrect polarity can lead to premature failure of the sensor. Disassemble the connector and reverse the wires.

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.
