Service Procedure

Caution: Disc brake rotor protectors MUST be installed prior to tire and wheel assembly removal to avoid ceramic brake rotor damage due to contact between the tire and wheel assembly and the rotor. If the ceramic brake rotor is damaged, replacement may be required. This brake rotor protector is in the rear compartment of the vehicle.

  1. Inspect the left and right front brake rotors for proper installation. They are marked with a directional arrow as well as a letter indicator (L or R). This inspection can be performed by looking between the spokes of the wheel, no disassembly or wheel removal is required.
