Official summary

Install the front wheel opening extension pads to the vehicle during Pre-Delivery Service (PDS).

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.
