IF YOU CONFIRM:
While braking, especially at highway speeds:
the steering wheel shakes
AND / OR
the body vibrates
AND / OR
the brake pedal pulsates (also known as "Brake Judder").
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If incident occurs when cruising or coasting (not braking), it is not "Brake Judder," and may be tire/wheel related. Refer to ASIST for further diagnostic
assistance.
DO NOT CONFUSE "Brake Judder" with the rapid consistent-speed pedal pulsation that may be felt and only occurs when ABS is activated during hard
braking or on slippery road surfaces. In contrast, the pedal pulsation of "Brake Judder" may occur with light to moderate braking experienced during
normal driving conditions, and the pulsation rate will vary (faster or slower) with vehicle speed.
