Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about hairline cracks may be noticed in the pad friction material, when performing a brake inspection. Technician should be advised that the hairline cracks do not affect the operation of the brake system and the pads should not be replaced if only hairline cracks are found.

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.
