Official summary
When folding down the rear seat back, there is a possibility that the seat belt buckle may cause a dent on the rear seats. This occurs because the buckle is stored too low on the belt, pressing it between the seat back and the seat bottom. The buckle stop button was moved 100mm upward to reduce the chance this will occur.

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.
