lower chrome trim. The retainers will be required to reinstall the trim. Please discard all copies of bulletin 10236, issued October 2010.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealership for any reason. It will expire

This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory and customer vehicles
that return to the dealer for any type of service during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage period.
