Summary
This bulletin announces a change to the interior door trim panels made to address a limited number of concerns regarding small dents appearing in the accent areas as shown in the illustrations below. These dents can occur when the foam layer on the inside of the trim panel covering material is pressed inward and comes in contact with adhesive used during assembly preventing a return to its original condition. An additional barrier has been added during manufacturing to keep the foam layer and adhesive separated.
