Official summary

When accelerating after a change of direction (forward or reverse) a one-time clicking or popping noise occurs in the front left or front right of the vehicle.

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.
