Please follow all precautions that apply when charging a larger main lead-acid battery.

The battery must have a minimum voltage of 9 volts to be installed in a vehicle.

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.
