Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have water or dust from the openings under the bed rails near the stake pockets. Dealer should communicate to the customer this condition is a normal operating characteristic of their vehicle.

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.
