Service bulletin 09-013/16
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.

ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY MISSING SOCKET COVERS, HID MODULE SEAL (D), OR MISSING BUMPER BRACKETS (E) ISNOT COVERED BY WARRANTY POLICY.
