Official summary

Some 2016 explorer and mkx vehicles built on or before 3/11/2016 may exhibit a memory seat that does not return to the programmed position when pressing the memory seat switch or programmed intelligent access (ia) key; and/or easy entry/exit function that does not return to the previous seat position.

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.
