Official summary

Some 2012 ? 2013 model year Tacoma vehicles may exhibit a wind whistle type noise from the front of the vehicle. This noise may be coming from the radiator grille where it meets the hood. A radiator grille seal has been developed 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.
