# Service bulletin SB\-16\-11\-006 R1

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.

On some Model X vehicles, the rear door edge protector might allow water to enter the door latches or cinching actuators on the rear \(Falcon Wing\) doors. If the vehicle is then parked outdoors in freezing conditions the water can freeze, resulting in interference with door operation. The doors will function properly when the water unfreezes.
