Official summary

This bulletin announces design changes made to the front exhaust pipe covers. The covers have a redesigned shape to provide a more streamlined fit with the previously re-designed front exhaust pipe bellows.

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.
