Official summary

American Honda (AHM) is investigating certain 2016-2017 RDXs with a client complaint of a noise coming from the steering wheel (driver?s airbag area) when turning or driving. To fully understand the cause of this condition, AHM would like to inspect the vehicle prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.

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.
