Official summary
Impreza 5-door models only. This Service Information bulletin serves as a reminder to always make sure the rear cargo cover (a.k.a. Tonneau Cover) is re-installed properly after removal. Although the cover fits and operates if not installed properly, wrinkling and / or damage to the cover material can occur.
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.
