Official summary

This technical service bulletin asks the reader to check for improperly installed or deformed front shock bellows and to replace if necessary.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
