Official summary

IB BRAKE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM - PREFLIGHT CHECK. When starting a vehicle or driving off customers may complain of "no brake assist" or "hard brake pedal". Additionally some brake warning lights may illuminate in the instrument cluster (aka Kombi).

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.
