Condition
Some customers may comment on a squeal or squeak noise from the front brakes. This

condition normally only occurs on initial brake applications after the vehicle has sat for an

extended time. The condition occurs typically under light braking, in speeds under 16

km/h (10 mph). After 1-6 brake applies, or after braking at higher speeds, the noise no

longer occurs. This condition may occur more often in high humidity conditions.
Correction
Apply a coat of copper paste to completely cover the pad backing plate abutments on

each end. This maintenance item is not covered under warranty and is the financial

responsibility of the customer, as described in the Corvette owner's manual in the Vehicle

Care section, sub-section Brakes.
Service Procedure

Important: Service agents must comply with all International, Federal, State, Provincial, and/or Local laws

applicable to the activities it performs under this bulletin, including but not limited to handling, deploying,

preparing, classifying, packaging, marking, labeling, and shipping dangerous goods. In the event of a

conflict between the procedures set forth in this bulletin and the laws that apply to your dealership, you

must follow those applicable laws.

Important: The use of wheel cleaners or power washers directly pointed at the brake caliper may wash the copper

paste off of the brake pads. It may be necessary to apply the copper paste again if the lubricant is washed away.

The copper paste should be applied whenever the brake pads are removed or replaced.

To help reduce squeal, the brake pads are treated with an anti-squeal paste that may need to be reapplied periodically as part of normal vehicle maintenance. The anti-squeal paste will dissipate over time. Also, the use of wheel

cleaners or power washers directly on the brake calipers may remove the anti-squeal paste from the brake pads. It

may be necessary to reapply the anti-squeal paste if it is removed during cleaning.

If brake squeal is excessive, the anti-squeal paste should be reapplied. The anti-squeal paste should always be

reapplied whenever the brake pads are removed or replaced.

Apply a coat of copper paste to completely cover the pad backing plate abutments on each end. The paste should

not extend onto the friction material. Follow the instructions listed below.

properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your

vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may beneﬁt from the
