Official summary
On certain Model Y vehicles, the hood latch actuator connector wires are installed in the incorrect position, causing the hood latch to open upon vehicle wake up; this will prompt a driver alert and prevent the vehicle from switching into drive mode until the hood latch is closed.

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.
