Service bulletin TIN-13-51-001

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

Affected vehicles are no longer shipped with front license plate hardware (rubber nut and bolt package). Dealers are asked to use self-tapping screws for mounting the front license plate. License plates should be installed in the locations indicated by dimples in the front fascia. Dealers should use locally sourced, non-corroding, M6 fasteners, 20mm to 25 mm long. Fasteners should be installed using hand tools only.
