Official summary

Service bulletin - affected vehicles have driver's airbag inflators that may experience over-pressurization due to exposure to high temperatures and high absolute humidity. Over-pressurization can cause the inflator to rupture, spraying shrapnel at vehicle occupants.

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.
