Official summary

Right Rear Spring Shifted In Upper Isolator And Possible Clunk Noise This bulletin involves verifying the customer?s symptom/condition and if necessary, replacing the rear suspension springs. Right side rear suspension spring is shifted in the upper spring mount isolator and possibly a clunk noise can be heard or felt coming from the rear of the vehicle, while going over bumps.

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.
