Service bulletin B661516
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
THE SMART OPENING/CLOSING TAILGATE FUNCTION IS INOPERATIVE. Vehicles with comfort access and without rear trailer tow hitch; the contactless tailgate smart opening/closing function using foot motion is INOPERATIVE. The heat insulation on the rear bumper partially blocks the top and/or bottom sensor signal, which prevents foot movement detection.
