Official summary
Customers of affected vehicles may report a rattle or ticking noise from the glove box area when travelling over railroad tracks, highway lane markers ("Botts dots") or rough road surfaces. This may be caused by contact between the glovebox and the dash. This TSB instructs technicians to remove the existing glovebox felt insulating strips and add a new felt strip in a different location to suppress the noise.
Vehicles covered
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.
