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.

A10-039	2017-06-30. Service bulletin. THE INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TAKATA DRIVER’S AIRBAGS WAS REMOVED BECAUSE ALL TAKATA DRIVER’S AIRBAG INFLATORS INSTALLED IN THE RECALL VEHICLE POPULATION ARE BEING REPLACED. FOR CIVIC MODELS ONLY, AUTOLIV AIRBAGS ARE OK AND CAN BE REINSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. A MANUFACTURING ERROR CAN PRODUCE OVER-PRESSURIZATION OF SOME REPLACEMENT DRIVER’S (FRONT) AIRBAG INFLATORS DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IF AN AFFECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE INCREASED INTERNAL PRESSURE MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR CASING TO RUPTURE. METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN INJURY OR FATALITY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.
