Question Brake shutter/chatter

I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan and yesterday I notice going down a hill my brakes started to chatter where it shook the van a little. After that the next 25 miles the brakes were perfectly normal? The pedal is at the top (Never went down or got soft) and all is fine... I'm doing a 250 mile trip in 3 weeks so now I'm concerned if this is normal or is it the antilock braking system going bad or something else? Would anyone have any idea what could be happening? Figures this would happen right after the warranty runs out. Thanks!

a small amount of warpage in the rotor will let you feel it in the pedal under light braking

There was a bulletin brake pads and rotors for this problem. Check with your local dealer.
