Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: disc: padsReported June 5, 1992 · 2,486 vehicles affected
What is wrong
The bonding technique used between the pad and the backing plate can result in a porous joint layer which water and salt can penetrate, resulting in corrosion of the backing plate.
Risk
The front brake pads can separate partially or completelyfrom the corroded backing plate, resulting in decreased stopping ability and apossible vehicle accident.
Remedy
Replace the front brake pads with new pads utilizing a different bonding method which ensures a non-porous joint layer to prevent water and salt penetration of the backing plate.
