Official summary

This Service Information bulletin announces a production method change to the rear combination lamp assembly. The application procedure of the anti-fog coating was changed to prevent a customer concern of visible drip marks (or streaks) appearing on the inside of the lamp lens.

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.
