2016 GS F
Introduction

2016 GS F vehicles are equipped with high-friction brake pads, specifically designed for superior
braking performance and response. As a result, the brakes may exhibit a squeal or squeak type
noise. For customers who find these characteristics objectionable, brake pads with alternative
material are now available as service parts.

NOTE

Any changes made to the brake pad material may result in altered and possibly reduced braking
performance and/or feeling under certain driving conditions, including track use.

SERVICE MANAGER NOTE

Please note disclosures stated in the GS F sales information, both in print form and online, and
discuss with the customer prior to installing the alternate brake pads listed in this
service bulletin.

Itis an inherent characteristic of materials and design of brake pads used in this high-
performance brake system that brake noise/squeal may result.
