Mine too. The TSB says to look for visible brake pad material. If there's no visible brake pad material, it still may be covered. But if there is visible pad material, it definitely will be.
The brake pad material does not stay on the rotors when the car is moving. Mine did stick to the rotors but by the time I brought it into the dealer, the material was gone. I also believe this is only for very early builds (job 1 cars)
Mine is definitely still there, sounds like a rumble strip when if I use the actual brakes instead of 1PD
. The service advisor refused to tell me if it was covered without a a tech looking at it first. I know the brake pads are technically only covered for 10k miles or something and Iām at 20k which is why I was trying to get a yes or no. Iāll be pissed if they charge me a diagnostic fee since itāll likely be a lot more than just getting the rotors resurfaced at the auto parts store haha.
I'd be tempted to do a few cycles of really aggressive braking from highway speed to nearly stopped to see if it clears away. If it does, great... no wasted time at the dealer... if it doesn't well... I sense an argument with the dealer as there are 20K miles on the car. Not fun.Mine is definitely still there, sounds like a rumble strip when if I use the actual brakes instead of 1PD
I think I'm having the same issue as you. What did you end up doing to resolve the issue? Or are you just dealing with the rumble?
Pulled the wheel off and chipped away at the brake pad material with a razor blade scraper.
At 3500miles, I would expect them to change them under warranty. Just wondering what the experiences have been between the 12 month / 18k and the 3 yrs / 36k bumper to bumperYes, this happened to my vehicle. It's a Job 1 car built in February 2021. It happened at somewhere around 3500 miles. I remember the service advisor saying the cars produced in early 2021 were the ones affected. The cars like mine have an air groove cut down the middle of the pad Job 2 cars don't have the groove the thread listed TSB did not apply. I don't know anything about the 2nd TSB you listed.
Also, the pads are covered by the bumper-to-bumper is there is a milage, and time limit. Usually is a certain amount of months from the in-service date and a certain amount of miles, check the manual
Attached from the warranty manual
I would not expect them to be covered as the warranty states brake pads are an exception to the B2B warranty. Pads are a wear item and the way I am reading the warranty they only have a 12m 18k warranty.
What about rotors and in reality with 1 pedal driving there shouldnāt be this āwearā so early on the pads and rotors. This is essentially due to design flaw in parts used in 2021 models
1 petal drive doesn't really use the friction brakes. The flaw is the v groove on the brake pads in cars manufactured before June 6th 2021. If your car has the groove, is manufactured before 6-6-21 and like mine had pad material brake off and be stuck to the rotor creating a vibration then I would open a case. Here is another food for thought the dealer wants to do the work as they get paid by ford to do warranty work. if they don't think it's covered = they don't believe they would be reimbursed under the warranty. Considering they do lots of service work they have a good bet on what is and what is not covered.
