Service bulletin TSB160029-031816
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
LOW POWER WITH ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) CALIBRATION CODE WITH POWERTRAIN PROTECTION ENABLED, WHICH REDUCES TORQUE OUTPUT IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POWERTRAIN PROTECTION FEATURE HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO REDUCE PISTON MALFUNCTIONS. BY LEAVING THIS FEATURE ENABLED, THE CUSTOMER MAY SEE INCREASED UPTIME AND COST ADVANTAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCREASED DURABILITY OF THE POWERTRAIN. IN SOME APPLICATIONS AND DUTY CYCLES, THE DEFAULT POWERTRAIN PROTECTION SETTINGS WILL PRODUCE LOWER POWER THAN THE CUSTOMER DESIRES. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD WEIGH THE BENEFITS OF POWERTRAIN PROTECTION AGAINST ANY REDUCTION IN PERFORMANCE WHEN CHOOSING THE SETTINGS WITHIN POWERTRAIN PROTECTION. POWERTRAIN PROTECTION PARAMETERS CAN BE ADJUSTED, OR THE FEATURE DISABLED ENTIRELY.
