Official summary

Some vehicles may exhibit crack(s) on the left and/or right side retractable hardtop quarter garnish (1). The molding material on the retractable hardtop quarter garnish may accelerate the deterioration of the quarter garnish, resulting in the cracks. To eliminate this concern, the molding material on the retractable hardtop quarter garnish has been improved.

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.
