Official summary

The message "Oil minimum warning, add one quart of oil" appears in the instrument cluster, but the oil level is above the minimum level. There are no DTCs related to oil level stored in the ECM memory. The oil level sensor is defective.

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.
