Service bulletin RSB-56-23-002-1
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.

These vehicles may have water ingress near the upper liftgate, or the upper liftgate may contact the rear roof applique when the liftgate is opened. These vehicles also require specific adjustments if the upper liftgate is replaced. Perform this procedure upon customer complaint, or if the upper liftgate is replaced.
