Official summary

This Preliminary information communicates an issue where the minor tailgate step link can contact the painted surface and chip the paint on the tailgate. Dealers are to adjust the step link bracket to provide clearance between the link and painted surface to prevent contact with the painted surface.

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.
