Service bulletin 12-151-13
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
If you receive a customer concern of the front door checkers not holding the doors securely enough in the half or fully open positions, this Bulletin informs of a change made to increase the detent force of the front door checker mechanism. The new checker provides a more positive feeling when holding the front doors half or fully open.
