Official summary

TT: Beginning with the 2021MY, Highlander models no longer have front underbody holes and therefore do not require the installation of body plugs. The rear underbody holes still require the installation of body plugs at the time of Pre-Delivery inspection/Service.

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.
