DOOR FRAME TRIM DAMAGED. Door seal on the A-Pillar is damaged near exterior mirror. Mirror base gasket protrudes and interferes with door seal.

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.
