Official summary

Techline summary article - We?re currently looking at an issue concerning a disruption of AM reception when sharply turning the steering wheel. Some clients report that while driving slowly and listening to AM radio, they?re hearing a whoosh or static sound from the speakers when sharply turning the steering wheel left or right.

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.
