Official summary

This bulletin announces a new Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) Module and Hydraulic Control Unit (VDCCM&HCU). The new part was designed to address a small number of customer concerns regarding a clicking or ticking-type sound heard coming from the driver?s side footrest area. The new modules incorporate logic with enhanced internal solenoid and motor control characteristics.

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.
