Official summary

The rear combination lights on some 2013 ? 2014 model year FR-S vehicles may exhibit cracking from the upper surface of the lens. This can result from the trunk lid contacting the rear combination light housing if excessive force is applied to the trunk lid when closing. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to address this condition.

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.
