The noises may be more prevalent in wet weather.

These noises are more likely to occur when the vehicle is new. The volume and occurrence of the noise will dissipate after a short break-in period. Production Solution Not applicable. Service This is a normal condition. Explain the Technical Background to the customer. Do not replace any parts, as replacing parts will not correct the concern.
