Official summary

Recently following the release of the WRK-21 CVT Chain Guide Breakage, SOAâ s Techline started to receive some retailer inquiries regarding TCMs not accepting the testing/ temporary pak file or the final pak file and then failing to communicate.

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.
