EXPLORER
This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to expand the model and model year coverage.
ISSUE:
Occasional or intermittent brake squeal may be cause by the brake friction material generating noise and heat in order to dissipate energy.
This occasional or intermittent squeal may be a normal condition and requires no corrective action.
ACTION:
If a customer is concerned about occasional or intermittent brake squeal, it should be explained that brake friction materials inherently
generate noise and heat in order to dissipate energy. As a result, an occasional squeal condition may be normal, and could be affected by
cold, heat, wetness, snow, salt, mud etc.
NOTE:
THIS OCCASIONAL OR INTERMITTENT SQUEAL IS NOT A FUNCTIONAL PROBLEM AND DOES NOT INDICATE ANY LOSS
OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS.
