BUZZING NOISE FROM FRONT DOOR PANEL
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS

DESCRIPTION
Some customers may complain about a buzzing noise from the upper part of the front door panel when the volume of the audio system is loud. Due to the
loud volume, both front door trim and body panel vibrate causing the rib molded on the upper part of the front door trim to interfere with the body panel,
which causes the noise. The rib is now eliminated from the front door panel.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify customer concern.
2. Remove the front door trim from the vehicle. Refer to Workshop manual section 09-13 FRONT DOOR TRIM REMOVAL / INSTALLATION.
3. Prepare (5) self-adhesive pads using a non-woven material (foam / rubber / heavy duty duct tape etc.) with dimensions of 1" x 3/4" and a thickness of
.039 inch. (17MM x 25MM and 1.0MM thick).
