TICKING NOISE FROM DRIVERS FOOTWELL DURING LIGHT BRAKING WHILE COASTING: A ticking sound can be heard from the drivers footwell while coasting with the engine OFF. The noise occurs when the pedal is slightly pressed with minimum force without the brake light being activated.

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.
