Official summary

This bulletin announces a design change to the headlamp assembly to improve sealing and prevent moisture intrusion. This condition may result from a slight misalignment of the attaching points during the headlamp assembly process. An improved sealing material is now being used for bonding the outer lens to the housing.

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.
