Official summary

TSB: Some 2016 - 2018 model year 4Runner vehicles equipped with the TRD Pro suspension kit may exhibit a tight clearance or contact condition between the LH rear shock absorber remote reservoir and the inner wheelhouse body panel. A ?knock? or ?clunk? noise may be heard from the LH rear of the vehicle over bumps. Follow the Repair Procedure in this bulletin to address this condition.

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.
