Official summary
Air Temperature will not change. Some customers may complain that the air temperature from the fair conditioner will not change with the air temperature control knob, and may be accompanied by some rattle noise from behind the dash board. This concern may be caused by the temperature control link being pulled out of the HVAC housing or becoming disengaged due to insufficient link stiffness. To correct the problem, the temperature control link has been modified. Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair as follow documents provided.

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.
