Official summary

In all of the affected vehicles, a one-speed transfer case was installed instead of the two-speed transfer case that was intended to be installed with the heavy duty trailer tow package. As a result, the Slow Climb drive mode and the Neutral Tow setting will not be available on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) message center display. This will prohibit the vehicle from being flat-towed and may cause poor drivability in extreme off-road conditions.

Vehicles covered

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.
