Service bulletin IB19E001

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 CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN ABOUR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END TYPICALLY HEARD WHEN TURNING INTO AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE OR WHILE TURNING AND HITTING A BUMP. THIS CLUNKING NOISE MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FRONT LEAF SPRING CONTACTING THE SPRING HANGER AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1. INSPECT THE FOUR LOCATIONS AT THE FRONT SPRING FORWARD HANGER AS SHOWN WITH RED ARROWS IN FIGURE 2 FOR EVIDENCE OF CONTACT. IF EVIDENCE OF CONTACT IS PRESENT, REPLACE BOTH FRONT LEAF SPRINGS WITH UPDATED LEAF SPRINGS TO INCREASE THE CLEARANCE AND PREVENT CONTACT.

Listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned: the document says which.
