Service bulletin M340114

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

Brake Disc and Brake Pad Service and Reference Information: Determining when to service brake components. 1. Brake Noise Some brake noise is normal - especially during the break-in (aka running-in) phase. While the noise should lessen after the pads are fully bedded onto the discs, a variety of individual factors will influence the amount of noise including- Driving style Your local environment Ambient weather conditions Noises occurring in specific conditions such as extremely low and high ambient temperatures usually disappear by themselves when the conditions change. JCW vehicles: Due to the performance characteristics of the brake pads, brake noises are more likely to occur. By contrast, if noises are present in every condition, this likely indicates the need of a repair.
