Service bulletin SB-08-062
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

Service bulletin - Due to improvements in battery manufacturing efficiency, once stocks of original IMA batteries are depleted, new battery designs will be available for IMA battery replacement.
