Official summary
TT: Some vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the front corner mounting point of the side shield would separate from the lower frame assembly. The condition may occur when the customer enters or exits the vehicle and significant downward pressure is placed directly on the seat cushion shield. This condition could also potentially show a significant gap at the top of the shield to the cushion, or a complete seperation from either the front or rear retainer/engagement points.
Vehicles covered
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.
