Official summary

Service Update. In certain vehicles, if the Engine Control Module (ECM) sets the DTC P0521 (Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Performance), the ECM cannot clear the permanent status of this DTC. If the ECM had previously set a DTC P0521 and the permanent status is not properly cleared, the vehicle may not pass certain Emissions Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) tests. Dealers are to reprogram the ECM.

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.
