Official summary
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: MATTE PAINT FINISH CARE INSTRUCTIONS - This bulletin provides instructions regarding the matte paint finish on some 2022MY~ vehicles. Contrary to gloss paint, the painted surface has a unique matte finish with low gloss due to diffused light reflection. So, it requires different care (hand wash with special cleaners), to maintain it properly which preserves the matte appearance for years to come.

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.
