Defect

Severe corrosion due to road salt at the joint of the stamped steel center section and the cast outer section can cause the sections to separate.

Safety risk

Separation of the rotor sections can cause loss ofbraking ability in the affected wheel. This could result in increased stoppingdistance and/or loss of vehicle control and an accident.

Remedy

Replace the front brake rotors with new rotors with a corrosion protection coating. However, if replacement of brake linings are necessary, it will be done at owner's expense since brake linings are normal maintenance items.
