Service bulletin 12222B
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
12222B - Service Update (revised part section). These vehicles may have a transmission built with an incorrect internal o-ring seal. The affected vehicles may exhibit noise due to pump cavitation, sluggish shifting and poor acceleration, or may require high engine RPM to engage drive or reverse or to move the vehicle. Dealers are to test drive the vehicles. If the test drive determines the condition is present, dealers are to replace the o-ring.
