Official summary

This technical bulletin provides a procedure to reinstall the rear defroster tab on the rear window defogger for vehicles with the condition of rear defrosters inoperative or if one is to break during a normal repair.

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.
