Official summary
Some vehicles equipped with led or discharge type headlights may exhibit white milky stains on the inner sur-face of the headlight lens. Some customers may complain of the poor appearance. This concern is caused by gas that emits from a gasket in the lamp unit. The gas adheres to the inner surface of the headlight lens and reacts with the anti-clouding coating and moisture in the air to create white milky stains. The gasket material has been improved to eliminate this concern.

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.
