Thanks RS! I take it if we're beyond the 12 month/12,000 miles we're SOL eh, as per your statement "Policy: Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty."

What a great service you just provided all of us. Nice job!

Hope they have a lot of brake rotors ready to ship. I think every car has the premature wear.

You think you have a chance of getting the new rotors Moose? You have installed after market pads, or are they still in the box?

Not necessarily... "officially", the warranty is 12mo/12k. However, based on what I have seen in the past for brake (and other) issues, a dealer can, if they want to, slide the repair through outside of the warranty period. I'm not sure of the "politics" involved or what it entails but I do know it can be done. I would suggest for anyone outside of the warranty to contact their dealer and see what they say. If turned down, try another dealer if possible.

We need to start a special thread, or post in this one, for everyone to report their experiences in this matter. It won't be long before we will have a good idea of the "success" rate for out-of-warranty claims being honored.

As we speak there are over 1,000 front rotors in stock and over 500 rear rotors. Not a lot but hopefully the pipeline will continue to be replenished.

Nice!

I'll go down tomorow and see if any are in stock.

[FIXER]

Thanks, for the heads up. Now see see if they will warrent my complaint. I've got about 15,000mi in 7 months. Under the 12 mo but well over the 12,000.
