Official summary

This bulletin contains repair instructions for when there is a remove key warning in DIS, MMI does not turn off with key removed, or locking with remote does not work.

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.
