Service bulletin L-SB-0079-15
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
LSB: THE DCC FUSES ARE REMOVED AT THE ASSEMBLY PLANT TO REDUCE PARASITIC CURRENT DRAW FROM THE BATTERY DURING TRANSPORT AND STORAGE. AS A RESULT OF THE REMOVAL OF THE DCC FUSES, THE VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERING (VGRS) SYSTEM WILL BE INOPERATIVE AND THE STEERING WHEEL MAY BE OFF-CENTER. AFTER THE DCC FUSES ARE REINSTALLED, THE VGRS SYSTEM WILL BE OPERATIVE, BUT THE STEERING WHEEL MAY BECOME OFF-CENTER BY 5 – 10 DEGREES. THIS CONDITION MAY ALSO APPEAR WHEN THE BATTERY TERMINAL HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. INITIALIZE THE VGRS SYSTEM USING THE PROCEDURE IN THIS BULLETIN AFTER INSTALLING THE DCC FUSES OR WHEN RECONNECTING THE BATTERY TERMINAL."
