Official summary

INTRODUCTION This voluntary service campaign provides complimentary update of certain vehicle software in MY11-12 LEAFs to match current MY13 production specifications. The reprogramming of the Lithium Ion Battery controller is intended to improve the accuracy of the Battery Capacity Level Gauge. The reprogramming of the On-Board Charger is intended to expand the number of compatible chargers. Please see this bulletin for further details.

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.
