Get the precise wording the model used, then check whether it is outdated (once true), fabricated (never true) or a reasonable misreading, because each needs a different fix.

How should you write the correction?

State the correct fact directly and plainly on an authoritative owned page, and update every other owned page that mentions it so there is no internal contradiction.
