Service bulletin B17030B

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

SERVICE NEWS ARTICLE - FOR OVER 10 YEARS, WE’VE BEEN USING FRACTURE-SPLIT CONNECTING RODS IN OUR ENGINES. UNLIKE A MACHINED CONNECTING ROD, THIS ROD IS FORGED AS A SINGLE PIECE OF METAL. THEN, USING SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, THE LARGE END OF THE ROD IS PRECISELY SCORED, AND THE ROD CAP IS LITERALLY SNAPPED FROM THE ROD.

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