Affected Component: BRAKES (PWS)

Summary
SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A SQUEAKING / GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES. THIS NOISE MAY BE CAUSED BY THE WEAR INDICATORS OF PREMATURELY WORN OUTER REAR BRAKE PADS. NOTE: THE INNER REAR BRAKE PADS WILL ONLY SHOW A LITTLE WEAR. THIS CONDITION ONLY AFFECTS THE OUTER REAR BRAKE PAD(S). DURING USAGE OF THE VEHICLE IN AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, THE OUTER REAR BRAKE PAD(S) MAY BECOME STUCK DUE TO CORROSION. THIS MAY CAUSE BRAKE DRAGGING AND PREMATURE WEAR TO THE OUTER BRAKE PAD(S) ONLY. THE TREATMENT OF THE BRAKE PAD BACK PLATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN.
