Official summary

This preliminary informational bulletin provides diagnostic tips that may be helpful in correcting a customer concern about a whistle noise heard from the engine area after the vehicle has warmed up, or for up to 10 seconds after the engine is shut off.

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.
