Official summary
Some customers may complain of a creaking noise when driving through a dip or bump in the road while accelerating. This occurs when the vehicle is cold and cannot be duplicated once the vehicle is at normal operating temperature. The creaking noise may be caused by the #4 engine mount. The noise can easily be mistaken for suspension related components and is very difficult to diagnose.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
