The 2005-2009 designation suggests coverage for the latter part of the second generation and potentially the early introduction of the third generation, but based on the provided description focusing on 'production model years 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009', it's likely encompassing the tail end of the second generation and the initial phase of the third generation (2007-2011) or specifically the latter half of the second generation's run with any platform updates that carried over.
