Official summary

Some 2013-2017 transit connect vehicles built on or before 13-jan-2017 may require replacement of the panoramic roof shade. When installing the new roof shade the wire harness connector for the roof shade module may need to be extended in order to reach the new module. Follow the recommended splicing method for extending the harness in the on-line wiring diagrams section 5-1, connector repair procedures.

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.
