Official summary

"tsb: revision notice - august 2, 2016 rev1 - applicability has been updated to include 2015 - 2016 model year sienna vehicles. Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. Some 2011 2016 model year sienna vehicles may exhibit a vibration/pulsation from the front brakes that can be felt in the brake pedal while lightly applying the brake pedal. New front brake pads and a new field fix repair procedure have been developed to improve this condition. "

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.
