Official summary

LOCKING FUNCTION INOPERATIVE FROM THE HANDLE, ON VEHICLES WITH COMFORT ACCESS. Touching a door handle does not activate locking/closing function after exit from vehicle via Comfort Access. All door handles are affected when vehicle is wet or after rain. Keyless entry is possible via the remote control key Moisture penetration between locking sensor and handle support.

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.
