Official summary

This bulletin provides information to replace the outer tailgate handle switch due to a defective rubber injection which allows water to leak into the switch, potentially hindering proper tailgate opening.

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.
