Front inner brake pads wear out faster than the outside

Bulletin number

Service brakes

Summary

Some vehicles may experience the front inner brake pads wear out faster than the outside. For example, the brake pads need to be replaced at less than 12,500 miles (20,000km). This accelerated pad wear may be caused by dirt and sand easily adhering to the inner friction surface of the disc while driving. To eliminate this concern, the shape of the dust cover has been changed and modification of the front brake pads is under study.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 24 complaints in the brakes category.
