What should I do if the title of my invention is not specific to the claimed invention?

If the title of your invention is not specific to the claimed invention, you should refer to MPEP § 606.01 for guidance. The MPEP § 1302.04(a) directs patent examiners and applicants to this section:

“Where the title of the invention is not specific to the invention as claimed, see MPEP § 606.01.”

MPEP § 606.01 provides detailed instructions on how to create a title that accurately reflects the claimed invention. You may need to amend the title to make it more specific and descriptive of your actual invention as claimed in the patent application.
