Official summary

American Honda (AHM) is investigating certain 2016 MDXs with a client complaint of a front brake noise. The noise can be described as clicking, clacking or clunking due to pad shift. This pad shift noise usually occurs when turning or going straight. To fully understand the cause of this condition, AHM would like to collect specific parts from the vehicle prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.

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.
