Official summary

It is acceptable to have a few water droplets enter the vehicle under certain circumstances. As described in the Owner?s Manual, this vehicle is not to be subjected to high pressure washes, neither brushless automatic nor handheld. Under these situations the seals cannot withstand the amount of pressure generated (up to 3500 PSI). Also it may be likely in a heavy rain for there to be an occasional seepage. This should not be severe, but is possible due to the external sealing of the hardtop.

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.
