Official summary
Customer Satisfaction Notification T13 Manual Transmission Shift Lever The manual transmission shift lever rubber insert on about 4,300 vehicles may not have properly adhered to the metal shifter housing during the shifter manufacturing process. This condition could cause looseness in the gear shift lever, noise, and additional effort to move the shifter into the selected gear. The manual transmission shift lever must be replaced on all involved vehicles.
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.
