Official summary

This Preliminary information communicates a diagnostic tip for a thump, click, pop, clunk type noise that is heard from the front end. Dealers are to inspect for something contacting the grill shutters as they open and close.

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.
