# Service bulletin 12\-271\-19

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 Service Information Bulletin announces a design change made to the rear bumper cover side mounting brackets. These new brackets provide increased clearance between the edges of the bumper cover and the corresponding quarter panels. This change will prevent them from contacting each other and possibly damaging their painted surfaces.
