Introduction
Some Lexus vehicles are equipped with high-friction front brake pads specifically designed for superior braking performance and response. As a result under certain conditions it is possible for the customer to experience a larger volume of brake dust on the wheels.
For customers who find these characteristics objectionable an alternative brake pad material has been developed. As with any change made to brake pad material braking performance and feeling may be altered and could possibly be reduced under certain driving conditions as a result of their usage.
These alternative front brake pads have now been made available as service parts.
Warranty Information
^ This repair is covered under the Lexus Comprehensive Warranty. This warranty is in effect for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle's in-service date.
^ Warranty application is limited to correction of a problem based upon a customer's specific complaint.
