Official summary
Some 2022 Explorer/Aviator vehicles equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost engine and built on 25-Jan-2022 and through 10-Mar-2022 may exhibit a buzz/vibration/rattle noise at engine idle or low revolutions per minute (RPM) underneath the vehicle near the left rear door. This may be due to the pressurized fuel delivery line contacting the body or the fuel tank creating a buzz/vibration/rattle noise. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to install foam tape.

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.
