Service bulletin ITB16-045
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
INFORMATION TO PREVENT CVT REPLACEMENT DUE TO MISDIAGNOSIS OF NOISE SERVICE INFORMATION With the engine running and the vehicle on a hoist, noise heard from the CVT may be louder (in Park, Neutral, Drive, or Reverse) than a non-CVT type transmission. CVT transmissions are much louder without drive load, which may lead to misdiagnosis. Do NOT judge CVT noise as abnormal due only to noise on a hoist (with or without the wheels turning). CVTs replaced for a noise issue may be requested for return. CVTs that do not have a defect will be charged back to the dealer. Refer to the information in this bulletin before replacing a CVT for a noise issue: - General noise descriptions from front of vehicle when driving/idling ? commonly blamed on CVT: Page 2. - Bearing Noise Diagnosis: Page 3. - Bearing Noise From Front of Vehicle Flow Chart: Page 4. - CVT Replacement For Noise ? Check Sheet: Page 5. - This check sheet must be completed and attached to the repair order before replacing a CVT for a noise issue.
