Official summary
Service bulletin - an incorrect learning value in the pcm may cause a pressure problem in the cvt under certain driving conditions, causing a surge in rpm because the cvt belt slips at highway speeds, eventually setting dtc p1890 (cvt speed control system). Depending on if dtc p1890 is set or not, update the pgm-fi software or replace the transmission and update the pgm-fi software.

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.
