Official summary

Technical Bulletin (Damage on External Chrome or Aluminum Surfaces) The surfaces of chrome parts can get damaged in the production process or by external influences. This document discusses options for repairs covered under warranty, and methods to prevent damage.

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.
