Official summary

TSB: Some 2012 - 2013 model year Highlander vehicles may exhibit difficulty when folding down or stowing the third row seat assembly due to binding between the seat frame and the banana bracket guide in the seat assembly.

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.
