The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
Risk
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Remedy
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.

My 1994 jeep cherokee front passenger rotor broke into two pieces because of excess rust. When I braked the car pulled very hard to the left. It was very difficult and dangerous for me to brake. When I looked up recalls for 1994 jeep cherokee's, cars purchased and registered in virginia are not part of the federal safety agency campaign id number 99v340000, but maryland and dc cars were on the recall list.
