Official summary
"service bulletin - a manufacturing error can produce over-pressurization of the passenger s (front) airbag inflator during airbag deployment.

Metal fragments could be propelled upward toward the windshield, or downward toward the front passenger s foot well, possibly causing an injury to vehicle occupants."

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.
