Description of the problem | During routine brake maintenance (disc pad replacement), removal and inspection of the rotors revealed a circular crack running approximately 60% of the entire circumference of the rotors between the mounting bolt section and the pad section of the rotors failure to remove and detect crack and replace component would have resulted in catostrophic failure of the rotors,and almost assured a front tire lock-up. If my wife had been driving when this occurred, a major accident would have been a sure thing. Rotors available for your inspection if requested along with right side rotor which was changed also. Just in case, but did not show signs of cracking. Thank-you for you time. *ak |
