Service bulletin PIT4826B
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

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.
