SITUATION
Some customers may complain of a brake squeal noise during light brake application.
CAUSE
Wear sensor geometry (part of the sensor head protrudes beyond the edge of the brake disc).

In case of a customer complaint, install improved brake pad wear sensor. Improved wear sensor geometry and material have been implemented in 01/06.

Sweet.
Mine hasn't done it in a while, but I've experienced this exact symptom occasionally.
Can someone please either link to the .pdf or tell me where they can usually be found?
