Service bulletin 5202
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
THIS BULLETIN STATES THAT CERTAIN MODELS NOW HAVE DIFFERENT BRAKE PEDAL FEEL DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHARACTERISTICS. WITH NEWER CARS, THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS MORE SENSITIVE TO CHANGES IN THE VACUUM FROM THE ENGINE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SLIGHT VARIATIONS IN BOOSTER REINFORCEMENT / PEDAL TRAVEL. A CUSTOMER IS MOST LIKELY TO NOTICE THIS PEDAL HEIGHT VARIATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THIS VARIATION IS NORMAL AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE FUNCTION OR EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKES. *TT
