Official summary

Service bulletin - there is a creaking, rattling, buzzing, clicking, or rubbing noise coming from the driver s airbag area of the steering wheel when turning or driving, possibly caused by the driver s airbag rib, located below the surface of the cover, contacts the leather wrap on the steering wheel spokes at the 3 and 9 o clock positions.

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.
