Official summary
Tech Tip: In some areas such as New York, taxi companies are required to install vinyl covers on or around the rear seat. When installing the vinyl cover near the rear seat, the HV Battery cooling system air inlet screen could be covered by mistake. Do not block the HV battery cooling system air inlet screen.
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.
