Official summary
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a repair procedure to address a customer concern of a pop type sound coming from the right rear wheel apron area. The sound may occur over bumps when a twisting motion is introduced into the vehicle chassis at low speeds. After verifying the customer s concern and performing the procedure, be sure to road test the car again to confirm the sound has been eliminated.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
