Official summary

Vibration or noise when braking may be due to brake disc corrosion protection which has not been completely removed by normal braking or surface rust built up during transportation completely.

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.
