APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINs

DESCRIPTION
After the vehicle has been washed and not moved for a long period, a stick-slip noise may be heard from the rear brakes once the vehicle is moved.
When the vehicle sits for a long period with moisture on the rear brakes, corrosion appears between the pad and disc plate. The corrosion causes the pad
and disc plate to stick together. The pad and the disc plate separates when the vehicle is moved, resulting in a stick-slip noise.
Follow the information outlined below to replace the rear brake pads with new service parts.
