Default Squeaking brakes when cold?

Hey all,

I notice my break squeaking a lot when I'm rolling and trying to brake. This always happen when the brakes are cold. After they heat up, it gets better.

Is this a sign that I need new pads? I'm just wondering because I'm not sure if replacement is needed when they squeak with the brakes being either hot or cold.

Thanks!

Also... was there a TSB for this?

I was gonna go in BUT.. I found out they wanted to replace ALL my brake parts.So I decided not to go thru with it. Just go in if it's bothering you that much. It's covered as long as you're still under warranty (bumper to bumper)

Thanks for the heads up! I found an older post which I recall seeing this TSIB:::
Brakes - Front Brake Squeal/Squeak On Light Application L-SB-0011-11

I tried googling the actual document with no luck.. Any ideas where I can get a print out of this? I don't want to go to the dealer empty handed...

Thanks!

EDIT: I had no issue pulling up the older version of this TSIB, just not the newer one.
