Service bulletin LTB00618NAS3

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

"SITUATION: A 'CLICK', 'RATTLE', OR 'LIGHT VIBRATION' NOISE MAY BE HEARD WHEN DRIVING OVER AN IRREGULAR ROAD SURFACE (COBBLE STONE, BRICKS, ETC. [SEE ILLUSTRATIONS IN SERVICE INSTRUCTION STEPS 1 AND 2]) AT SPEEDS UP TO 15 MPH (25 KM/H): A. A SINGLE OR MULTIPLE 'CLICK' NOISE FROM THE ENGINE BAY DURING SHARP ACCELERATION OR BRAKING AT A VARIETY OF VEHICLE TEMPERATURES AND AMBIENT CONDITIONS.
