Official summary
This is a Technical Service Bulletin sent to dealers. If the vehicle has been washed with high-pressure water, water may intrude and remain in the formed filling material at the joint portion between the inner quarter panel and the inner quarter panel extension, possibly leading to rust on the outer side panel. In case corrosion repair on the quarter panel is required, dealers are to follow these instructions to apply sealant to the joint area to prevent the recurrance of rust.
Vehicles covered
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.
