ISSUE
Some 2009-2010 Flex, MKS and 2010 Taurus and MKT built on or before 12/14/2009 may exhibit rear brake drag and/or off-brake cyclic noise. The
noise may be caused by pad to piston misalignment or corrosion on the brake caliper bracket.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the rear wheels and tires per Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 204-04.
2. Remove the rear brake pads as per WSM, Section 206-00. The notch in the caliper piston should be aligned with the pin on the backside of the
inboard brake pad. (Figure 1)
