Official summary

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 46 number 14-89 dated July 21, 2014. Customer may complain about brake squeak or squeal with light to moderate pedal pressure. If front brake discs or brake pads are close to their wear limit, foreign objects between brake disc and brake pad, such as small stones, grit, rust build-up, or sand, un-ground or corroded friction materials, or metallic deposits from disc material in brake pad exists, then this TSB does not apply.

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.
