The compressor for the self-leveling system continues to run after switching off the engine and locking the vehicle. DTCs may be stored.

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.
