Service bulletin PIP3504D
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 Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have a hard start when the engine is hot. If the fuel found in the vehicle has an American Petroleum Institute specific gravity reading of 39 - 44, and the fuel sample you used for comparison has an American Petroleum Institute specific gravity reading of 30 - 39, drain the fuel system and refill with a known good diesel fuel and retest.
