Official summary

This bulletin contains instructions for when the clutch is slipping, there is a gearbox malfunction message, and the vehicle shudders on odd number digits (several DTCs could be stored as well).

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.
