"THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES A REPAIR PROCEDURE TO ADDRESS A CUSTOMER CONCERN OF A “RATTLE” OR “POPPING” SOUND WHICH COULD COME FROM EITHER OF THE REAR DOOR OPENING AREAS. THE SOUND MAY OCCUR OVER SMALL BUMPS OR WHEN A TWISTING MOTION IS INTRODUCED INTO THE VEHICLE BODY AT LOW SPEEDS. THE CAUSE IS AN INSUFFICIENT GAP BETWEEN MULTIPLE LAYERS OF THE BODY STRUCTURE WHERE THEY ARE SPOT-WELDED TOGETHER AS SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATIONS BELOW."
