Service bulletin PIC5458D

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 with water that may be leaking into the vehicle and accumulate in the rear floor pan area on either the left or right side of the vehicle. Technician will need to verify that the plastic water diverter that is sewn into the top is on the "wet-side" of the trim. Technician should also verify the front of the water management bag is properly attached to the body sheet metal panel then inspect the front drains for proper installation. Technician should also verify the presence and proper location of the foam tape on both the left and right side 5 bow brackets. Inspect the area of the vehicle where the folding top frame is fastened in place, if there is no visible seam sealer on the side of the vehicle that has the leak, this may be the cause for the concern.
