Official summary

Mazda Accessories has re-released the Front and Rear Bumper Trim kits for the CX-9 (see the table below for application and required components). NOTE: The Front and Rear Bumper Trim Kits are only to be installed on Sport and Touring Models from 2020MY and forward. The Rear Bumper Trim contained within the kit is not compatible with the Handsfree Liftgate Sensor that comes standard on the Carbon Edition (new for 2021), GT, or the Signature Models.

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.
