[c-nsp] FIB TCAM Exception Cleared

Which sup are you using? Is the routing stable (peers, prefixes)?

There should have been an corresponding earlier FIB TCAM exception at 
some point, like:

%MLSCEF-SP-7-FIB_EXCEPTION: FIB TCAM exception, Some entries will be 
software switched

Meaning, you have run out of FIB TCAM space & so some prefixes will 
be software switched.

The message you are seeing should occur when there are no longer too 
many entries to fit in the FIB TCAM. Which suggests you have a 
flapping neighbor or some bogus routes being injected or something.
