Official summary

DC Charging - Customer Focused Diagnosis. Diagnosing DC charging complaints requires a precise problem description from the customer, as well as thorough vehicle-side work to find a reliable root cause. Because of the sporadic nature of majority of DC charging issues, the customer's input is invaluable to finding the correct solution.

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.
