Official summary

"Service bulletin - When speeding up, slowing down, stopping, or turning, you hear or feel a noticeable clicking/popping from the driver's and/or front passenger's seat-back. Clients sometimes compare this to someone kicking the back of the seat. This sensation can also happen when adjusting the seat or shifting your weight in it."

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.
