Explanation of Brake Rotor Warranty Service Procedure

Research and testing has determined:

1. Rotor refacing during normal pad replacement is not necessary.

2. Rotor refacing for cosmetic corrosion is unnecessary. Clean-up of braking surfaces can be accomplished by 10-15 moderate stops from 62-75 km/h (35-40 mph) with cooling time between stops.

3. Rotor service is ineffective in correcting BRAKE SQUEAL, and/or PREMATURE LINING WEAR OUT, and should NOT be used to address these conditions.

4. When installing new rotors, DO NOT reface them.

5. Ensure bearing flanges are free of corrosion when installing rotors to prevent inducing lateral runout. Use Kent Moore tool J 42450 to clean the corrosion around the wheel studs.
