Official summary

This is a Technical Information Notice sent to dealers, to inform them a white torque check paint mark has been added onto each black wheel lug and lock after it has been properly torqued to specification. Dealers must immediately clean off all white paint marks using a wash cloth when taking receipt of the vehicles.

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.
