Official summary

FIBERS PROTRUDING FROM CENTER SPEAKER COVER: Fibers are protruding from beneath the center dashboard speaker cover. Insulation material underneath the speaker may become loose. The situation may become even more noticeable on those vehicles where the dashboard area is cleaned using a vacuum cleaner.

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.
