Official summary
Complaint The surface-flush door handle sometimes does not retract when the vehicle is locked. It is only after repeated locking operation that the problematic door handle retracts. Cause Motor fault detection (FC B185E96 or B185D96) is triggered in the bearing bracket electronics of the surface-flush door handle (A17/x) during the retracting movement and an adjustment for this cycle is prevented. Remedy Replace bearing bracket of surface-flush door handle on problematic door.

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.
