Service bulletin SB-18-11-004 R2
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
On some Model X vehicles, water might enter the door latches or cinching actuators on the rear doors, which can damage certain components integral to automated door latching operation. If a component fails, manual door latching operation is not affected. Certain components have been redesigned to allow water to drain better and protect them from water damage.
