Official summary

This bulletin provides a procedure to follow when addressing customer concerns of a ?popping? type sound heard through the audio unit speakers. This condition occurs when listening to ?cached radio?. The cached radio feature allows you to hear the radio broadcast which otherwise would have been missed while taking a phone call using the Bluetooth hands-free feature.

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.
