Official summary

The above vehicles are equipped with a saddle style fuel tank and may experience a condition where the transfer of fuel from the secondary side of the fuel tank to the primary side of the fuel tank is interrupted. This could cause the engine to stall without warning under certain driving conditions.

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.
