Service bulletin A961487 2038849-
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
The infotainment system (radio, navigation, etc.) is not switched off when the ignition key is removed. The steering column cannot be locked. The vehicle cannot be locked with the remote. A warning appears in the DIS indicating that the key must be removed from the ignition, but the key has already been removed. DTCs may be logged in the onboard supply control module. The locking cylinder for the ignition lock is stiff because of internal dimensional tolerance issues. The S-contact in the ignition switch does not open due to various manufacturing issues.
