The TSB is a replacement of the latch with one that has a rubberized coating on the latch bar. The tape does the same thing, but you don't have to worry about the dealership screwing up other things like your interior and paint.
The tape trick is absolutely amazing, its like driving a new car. Adjusting the rubber stoppers proved to be a never ending battle.
