Official summary

This bulletin provides information for when car wash bristles become stuck in the body gap between the headlight and fender.

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.
