Official summary
Some vehicles operating in places with high ambient temperatures may exhibit the console mat warping at the center part (A), causing a poor appearance. The console mat is fixed at both ends and warpage of the center part is caused by heat influence. To prevent the console mat from warping, double-sided adhesive tape (A) has been added between the console mat (B) and the console panel (C).

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.
