Official summary

Tsb: some 2017 model year vehicles are equipped with a smart key system, which allows the customer to enter and start the vehicle without using a mechanical key. To ensure the system is operating properly, the smart key functions (smart entry and smart start) should be inspected using the following procedure during pre-delivery service (pds). Note: check all of the smart keys using this procedure.

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.
