Official summary

"? INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR MOVES OUT OF POSITION . The ""manually-dimming"" interior rearview mirror does not hold its set position when traveling over rough roads and/or with ""low ambient"" interior temperatures. The pivot ball surface finish does not provide sufficient friction for stable positioning."

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.
