Official summary
This article supersedes TSB 25-2121 to update the affected production build dates.

This noise may be due to front upper strut mount washer movement under steering loads.
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.
