Official summary

Some 2023-2024 Transit vehicles may experience an inoperative driver or passenger power window. In these vehicles, the power window motor is equipped with thermal protection against current increase or excessive operation of the switch. Once the protection is activated, the power window motor will automatically reset after approximately 20 seconds of window motor rest time. Before performing any diagnostic or repair, allow any inoperative window to rest for over 20 seconds and then retest its operation. The Workshop Manual (WSM) pinpoint test has been updated to reflect the thermal protection

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.
