Official summary
This bulletin announces a design change made to the outside mirrors to address a very limited number of customer concerns regarding a rattling-type sound which may be heard when shutting the front doors. The change involves the addition of four pieces of EPT foam tape to the mirror?s internal components which provides additional stabilization and eliminates the sound.
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.
