Service bulletin 09-025-16-3191

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE A-PILLAR WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS OR OVER BUMPS. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE COWL UPPER PLATE AND/OR DASH UPPER PANEL INTERFERING WITH THE WIPER BRACKET. FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A CLEARANCE NEEDS TO BE CREATED BETWEEN THE WIPER BRACKET AND COWL UPPER PLATE AND BETWEEN THE WIPER BRACKET AND DASH UPPER PANEL. TO CORRECT THE CONCERN, ADDITIONAL SEALING AND WELDING HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THE WIPER BRACKET.
