Service bulletin B310120
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.

A process fault at the supplier resulted in the mounts of the affected wishbone or tension strut to be incorrectly pressed in.
