Official summary

TSB: Some 2013 ? 2018 model year Lexus vehicles AWD F Sport models and non-F Sport models may exhibit a squeal/squeak noise from the front brake pads. For customers who find this characteristic objectionable, an updated shim kit is now available as a service part.

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.
