Official summary

When coming to a stop, some 2011 ? 2012 model year Tacoma vehicles may exhibit a squeak/squeal noise from the rear brake drum at the end of the stop. Revised rear brake shoes and drums are now available to address 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.
