Official summary

Some customers may report concerns with interior upholstery surface stains particularly on high contact areas (e.g.: steering wheel, door panels, shifter...etc.). This may be caused by skin oils or chemicals such as hand lotions. Use a clean towel damped in leather/vinyl cleaner or mild soap to clean the steering wheel. NOTE: Upholstery maintenance and care information can also be found in the Owner's Manual.

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.
