This preliminary bulletin provides a way to aid the technician in diagnosing transmission fluid leaking from the trans breather vent.

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.
