Official summary

Some vehicles may exhibit a customer concern of steady or intermittent miss with dtcs p0300 and p0304. This may be caused by a spread electrical terminal in connectors at injector. Repair terminal/connector concern by using a small screwdriver to close the injector terminal gap or replace the 9d930 wiring harness assembly. *ak

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.
