repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall
(it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.

Once the vehicle is powered down via ignition cycle, it may not restart depending on remaining residual charge.
A concern has been identified where the 48V Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) battery enters an offline state and no longer communicates or functions as intended. This can result in illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), loss of start/stop functionality and no communication during diagnostic sessions. A software update to the Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) is required.

Hit a car that pulled out in front of me at about 20mph and the airbags did not deploy and the sos button did not activate. Then I pushed it manually and it failed to make a call until 20 mins later after the police arrived.
