Official summary

This article supersedes TSB 21-2185 to update the vehicle model years affected.

To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to reinforce the cushion hook.

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.
