Official summary

Follow the Removal Procedure in this bulletin to remove the RapgardTM protective film within 90 days from initial application.

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.
