Service bulletin TSB 409
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.

NHTSA's summary
THIS TSB IS TO DOCUMENT THE CORRECT BATTERY STUD CONNECTIONS ON THE FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS IN THE LEFT FRONT COMPARTMENT ON THE PASS-THROUGH BATTERY AND GROUND STUDS. THE CORRECT ORIENTATION OF THE BATTERY CABLES ON THE PASS-THROUGH STUDS IS CRUCIAL TO PREVENT EITHER CIRCUIT FROM OVERLOADING THE FUSES. THE LOWER POSITIONED 150 AMP CHASSIS FUSE IN THE FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS DISTRIBUTION PANEL IS TRIPPING ON SOME ESSEX, MOUNTAIN AIRE, DUTCH STAR, AND VENTANA UNITS WHEN STARTING THE GENERATOR.

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
