Official summary

Warranty Policy Bulletin POL17-04: Rev Toyota has received reports of customer concerns in which the power back door does not close properly. In some cases, the power back door may reach the fully closed position and then reverse to the open position. In certain instances, the power back door closes, but produces a pop or clunking noise.

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.
