Official summary

Noisy And/Or Weeping Rear Shock Absorber This bulletin involves inspecting the rear shock absorber dust covers to determine if they are plastic or metal, and if the dust covers are plastic, replace the rear shock absorbers. Rear shock absorbers may be noisy and/or weeping due to the incorrect shock absorbers being installed on the vehicle.

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.
