Official summary

Some 2015-2016 transit vehicles built on or before 2/15/2016 may exhibit contact between the front door and fender. This may be due to the front door check arm allowing the door to open far enough to ben the door hinges after repeated full door openings.

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.
