Official summary

TT: Some customers may complain of a clunk type noise coming from the engine compartment shortly after start-up, due to repeated depressing of the brake pedal or shortly after the vehicle begins to move.

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.
