Official summary

While driving on smooth roads, a cracking sound can be heard from the rear safety belt feed trim panel. This sound will ONLY occur on the right-side panel.

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.
