This bulletin announces a design change made to the heater control assembly in response to a small number of customer concerns of the climate control not producing enough heat when driving in EV mode (engine not running.)

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.
