Official summary

This bulletin provides the procedure to update the TCU for a rough idle in Drive with Neutral Control enabled. The rough idle may occur only at a stop in Drive with the A/C off and the ATF temperature between 158~210°F (70~99°C). This update also reduces vibration when the brake is released during Neutral Control operation and the accelerator pedal is depressed.

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.
