inspections to prevent rotor and drum damage due to

Manufacturer Design Choices
•The choices made in designing your vehicle,
including the materials chosen for parts and
components.
•Note: A material is not defective or underperforming
under your warranty because a better, stronger, more

made solely at the discretion of the manufacturer
and are not warranted to be suitable for you or
anyone else who uses your vehicle.
