Official summary

This bulletin contains instructions for when there may be a noise from the exhaust flap or there are DTCs sporadically stored in the ECM.

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.
