Official summary

The rear node of some Model S and Model X vehicles might have damage in the forward mounting location of the rear subframe, resulting in noise, vibration, or harshness coming from that location.

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.
