Official summary

Service Bulletin for Reflective Tape Installation. If a truck tractor is ordered without mudflaps and/or mudflap support brackets, the rear reflective tape applied to the mudflaps or mudflap brackets during production is delivered loose with the vehicle. FMVSS/CMVSS 108 S5.7.1.4.3 requires reflective tape on all truck tractors domiciled in the United States and Canada.

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.
