Official summary

"this bulletin provides a repair procedure to address a wind rushing and / or fluttering-type sound originating from the b pillar area of the vehicle. The sound is usually reported to be more prevalent when crosswinds are present. The procedure involves the installation of a longer, 320mm piece of butyl adhesive to secure the upper front corner area of the rear door frame weatherstrip."

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.
