This TSB includes Repair validation photos. Refer to the latest Warranty Digital Documentation
Policy for requirements.
Refer to the applicable vehicle shop manual or TSBs for service details.
Front Brake Rotors – Machining or Replacement
NOTICE
Always follow the brake lathe manufacturer’s recommendations for proper machining.
It is recommended to use an “on-car” brake lathe.
If either rotor’s thickness is under the service limit (before or after machining), replace
both front rotors.
For more information on brake rotor service, refer to the applicable vehicle shop manual.
TSB #: 23-BR-004H

SUBJECT:
BRAKE INSPECTION SERVICE PROCEDURE
SUBJECT:
1. Measure rotor thickness and determine if rotors
should be machined or replaced. If machined,
measure both BEFORE and AFTER machining
to ensure the brake rotor is within specification.
2.
Refer to the applicable vehicle shop
manual for minimum thickness.
When measuring the brake rotor for
minimum service thickness and runout,
remove all surface contamination and
corrosion to ensure an accurate
measurement.
Measure the thickness at 8 points
(every 45 degrees) around the rotor,
5-10mm or 0.2-0.4” inboard of the outer
edge. Record these measurements on
the repair order sheet.
STUI
Using STUI, take clear photos of freshly resurfaced or new brake rotors (both left
and right) with the last 6 digits of the VIN and the date of repair on a piece of paper.
Photo(s) can be rotors off the vehicle, or on the vehicle. If on the vehicle, submit
both left and right photos individually. See example shown below.
Upload photo(s) to STUI.

BRAKE INSPECTION AND SERVICE PROCEDURE
3. With the brake rotors and calipers fully assembled, inspect the rotor runout.
Refer to the applicable vehicle shop manual for recommended runout tolerance.
Mount a dial indicator on the brake rotor 5-10mm or 0.2-0.4” inboard of the outer edge.
Record this measurement on the repair order sheet.
4. Verify that the rotors are free of grease or other contamination. Clean with brake cleaner if
necessary.
5. Tighten all bolts to the torque specification recommended in the appropriate vehicle shop
manual.
6. When re-installing the wheels, tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to the torque specification in
the appropriate vehicle shop manual. This reduces runout from occurring.
7. After installing the machined rotors or installing new rotors, perform a brake burnishing
procedure as described below.
Brake Burnishing Procedure
1. Drive the vehicle and accelerate to 50 mph.
Apply the brakes using moderate force
(about 0.3g deceleration rate), and slow the
vehicle to 10 mph. This action will take
approximately 6 seconds.
2. With as little cooling time as possible,
repeat this braking event 10 times.
