Official summary

Because Volkswagen supports the development and use of renewable fuels (such as biodiesel fuel blends), customers with certain 2009-2015 MY Volkswagen TDI® Clean Diesel Engine vehicles registered in the State of Minnesota only will receive a communication in July 2014 regarding the use of biodiesel fuel blends in their vehicles.

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.
