Service campaign B540124
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
Incorrect evaluation of the camera system at the manufacturer. It was not recognized that the drain tubes forthe panoramic sunroof were not connected to the sunroof inner frame (aka “cassette”) at the front of thevehicle. If the drain tubes are not connected to the sunroof cassette, it is possible for water to enter the front footwell of the vehicle.
The document
