Official summary

On some vehicles customers may report a pop/click noise from the dash area when changing the HVAC mode selection (air direction) dial to different positions. This may be caused by an improperly seated HVAC vent duct clip, which is rubbed by the mode door cam as it rotates. This TSB provides a procedure to properly seat the clip to correct this condition.

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.
