Service bulletin V401405 2037509
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
Technical Bulletin (Clicking or Popping Noise from the Front Suspension after a Change in Direction): When accelerating after a change of direction (forward or reverse) a one-time clicking or popping noise occurs in the front left or front right of the vehicle. The concern is due to the relative movement of the outward drive axle spline in the wheel bearing. This document discusses the "Fault Codes" necessary to diagnosis, and potential remedy of the issue. The fault codes for checking warranty coverage for servicing the vehicle are also available.
