Official summary
Pitstop: smart liftgate operation - the all-new 2015my sedona comes equipped with an optional power liftgate. When the smart key fob is in your pocket or purse and you are near the back of the vehicle and within close proximity for about 3 seconds, the hazard lights will blink and a chime will sound for about 3 seconds as an alert that the power liftgate is about to open. Then, the alert system will blink and chime two additional times before opening the power liftgate. The smart liftgate feature is off by default. To enable the smart liftgate, go to user settings in the lcd instrument cluster

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.
