Service bulletin S-SB-0034-13

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 2013 model year FR-S vehicles may experience a ticking noise coming from the driver or passenger side of the rear package tray sheet metal while driving over rough surfaces. This is caused by spatter that is created during the weld process rubbing in between the sheet metal layers at specific weld points. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to reduce the gap between the sheet metal layers to address this condition.
