Official summary

Early front door latches are susceptible to water ingress, which might cause the touchscreen to show the door in the wrong position or prevent the door from opening and closing automatically. The door can still be opened with the inside handle.

Vehicles covered

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.
