Official summary
"service bulletin - the rear wire harness near the left side trunk hinge is not adequately protected and could be damaged when the trunk is repeatedly opened and closed. A damaged wire harness can cause a blown fuse or an open circuit, with either resulting in a loss of the backup lights, the license plate light, the left or right taillight, and/or the trunk release button function. Driving without back-up lights or driving at night without taillights can make it difficult for other drivers to see the vehicle, and a crash could occur."

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.
