SUBJECT:
Disc Brake Pad Modification
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this bulletin is to address unevenly or prematurely worn brake pads. There is the possibility that the pads are too tight in the caliper and
have insufficient clearance as a result of rust buildup and dirt. If that is the case, the backplate of the disc brake pads will need to be slightly filed no
more than 0.1 mm (0.0039") on each end to remove the rust.
NOTE:
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS NOT APPLICABLE TO NEW BRAKE PADS.
REPAIR PROCEDURE/INFORMATION
Be extremely careful when filing the backplate of the inner and outer brake pad. Make sure that both ends are filed evenly; do not file shorter than the
dimensions shown below (Figure 1 & 2). Failure to do so will create a rattle or crank noise. After filing, make sure to apply grease on both ends of the
backplate where filed.
CLAIM REIMBURSEMENT/WARRANTY INFORMATION
For vehicles within the Basic New Car Limited Warranty period, this repair can be claimed using the table.
