Official summary

This engineering information bulletin is requesting information from the field to validate a field fix. Before contacting engineers, remove the transmission oil pan and inspect for nickel to quarter size pieces of aluminum debris in the oil pan. The 2-3-4-6-8 and 4-5-6-7-8 reverse clutch assembly and the 1-3-5-6-7 clutch assembly may be broken in several pieces.

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.
