# Service bulletin 12\-250\-18

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 bulletin announces a design change made to the rear bumper cover \(face\). To insure a proper fit of the new cover, the rear edge portion of the existing inner mud guards \(splash shields\) will need to be modified slightly in specific areas. In addition, plastic arch caps \(plugs\) are inserted into unused holes in the rear wheel arch lip of the new cover to fill unused mounting holes for optional accessory mud guards when not installed.

- [12\-251\-18](/bulletins/10150932.md), 2018-12-10, Service bulletin: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES; STRUCTURE:BODY. This bulletin provides a service procedure to address a gap between the top edge of the door and the instrument panel on the models listed as shown in the photo below. The gap may also make the glove box door difficult to close fully.There is a latch to keep the glove box closed on both sides of the glove box door. If the door is closed without using enough force to engage both latches or by pushing it shut on just one side instead of in the middle, one may close and not the other. Over time, if the door is not fully closed with both latches, high cabin temperatures along with weight of the items inside the glove box may cause the assembly to deform slightly and a gap to develop.
