- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2014168
- Manufacturer's number: 14128
- Reported: 2014\-05\-09
- Component: Brakes
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 209

## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front brake assembly may have been equipped with a rear brake rotor instead of a front one. During braking, higher heat will be generated by the thinner rear brake rotor which will significantly shorten the brake pad life.  As the pads and rotor wear, the outer brake pad may come disengaged resulting in reduced brake system performance increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.  Correction: Dealers will inspect both front brake rotors, and install new rotors and brake pads if necessary.
