Official summary
Trailer Tow Hitch And Trailer Hitch Harness Accessory Installation: Due to a revised rear bumper for the 2022 CX-5, the current accessory trailer tow hitch and trailer hitch harness cannot be installed at this time, even though the tow hitch does not change. The trailer tow hitch requires updated installation instruction and the anticipated timing for the updated instructions is Winter 2022. As for the current trailer hitch harness, the harness is too short and cannot be used. A new harness is in development and the estimated hitch harness availability is Spring 2022.

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.
