Official summary

Some supercrews are equipped with a digital memo recorder mounted on the driver's side sun visor which allows memos to be recorded, then played back at a later time as a personal reminder. To ensure that any unintended messages are not left on the device, please delete any existing messages at the dealership. All test messages are deleted prior to shipment from the assembly plant. Unintended messages should be deleted during pre-delivery inspection and just prior to vehicle delivery to the customer. *tt

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.
