Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about the folding top and/or trunk operation, the technician may find that the Tech2 value for the Rear Tonneau Status is blank.

Technician should always reference published diagnostics and the latest revision of technical service bulletin 03-08-67-008 when diagnosing any trunk or folding top concerns.

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.
