DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may exhibit a squeak noise when applying the brakes and/or groove marks (A) on the front disc plates. This is caused by abrasive metal from the front disc plate sticking to the brake pad, which damages the disc plate over time. To correct the problem, a modified brake pad is being used.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
- Verify customer concern.
- Inspect the front brake pads and disc plates for damage and replace according to the inspection results as follows:
Front Brake Pads
Visually inspect the front brake pads surface for pieces of metal.
- If metal pieces (silver or white in color) are found in a line (A) or cluster form (B) on the surface, replace the front brake pads with a modified service set.
Visually inspect the surface of the disc plate(s) for damage.
- If groove damage is found on a disc plate (A) and brake pad (B), replace the front brake pads with a modified service set and ONLY the damaged disc plate(s).
NOTE: Metal may have dropped off the brake pad, and groove damage will be found on the brake pad in the same position as damage on the disc plate.
