This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have a low voltage reading on the volt gauge during the first several minutes after a cold start. Dealer should communicate to the customer this condition is a normal operating characteristic of their vehicle.

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.
