Official summary

APPLE CARPLAY: WI-FI DISCONNECTS AND DOES NOT RECONNECT This Service Information bulletin replaces SI B84 08 19 dated July 2019. The Wi-Fi connection is interrupted (disconnects) and does not reconnect by itself. As a result functionality such as Apple CarPlay does not work until after a vehicle sleep cycle (at least 16 minutes).

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.
