Official summary

This bulletin provides an inspection procedure to follow when addressing customer concerns of a rattling, knocking or klunk type sound when going over slight bumps and/or uneven road surfaces.

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.
