Service bulletin SIM-51-09-07
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.

WATER WHICH IS ALLOWED TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AT THE TOP REAR EDGE OF THE DOOR IS NOT ABLE TO DRAIN OUT THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR SEAL.
