Official summary

Complaints of a rattle noise when closing the front door, or rattle from door when driving on bump roads may be caused when the front window regulator mounting nuts have become loose in the door. This concern may be more noticeable with the window closed. (See Fig. 1)

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.
