Official summary

TSB: Some 2008 ? 2019 model year Toyota vehicles painted with either 070 Blizzard Pearl or 040 Super White may exhibit peeling paint on one or more metal body panels. The paint may peel between the primer and E-coat layer, exposing the gray or brownish-green E-coat. The affected panel(s) will require prepping and repainting to address this condition. The paint repair may need to be sublet to a body shop.

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.
