Official summary

Some customers may complain that the fuel tank is difficult to fill up. This concern may be caused by improper operation of the non-return valve in the fuel tank (temporarily stuck open). The production process of the fuel tank has been improved to eliminate this concern.

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.
