Front Rotors

[Semperfi88]

I bought my 2020 Raptor new about 1yr ago. I'm currently getting new wheels and tires when the tech came in to let me know my front rotors are badly grooved for having only 20k on them.
Anyone out there having issues with original factory rotors so soon?

Maybe get warranty for that, should last over twice that mileage unless you brake like a woman

Was this at a dealer or aftermarket shop? As long as the grooves aren’t deeper than minimum rotor thickness (32mm), there is no need to replace the rotors. Sounds like they were trying to upsell work.

Grooving is typically caused by debris getting between the pads and rotor, which is not a defect and therefore non-warrantable.

Yes, not at a Ford dealer but I walked out there with them and I've seen my share of rotors in my life, and these look like 60k mile rotors not 20k!

I had the same problem (front grooved rotors)on my 2020 at 12,000 miles. Ford said it was cosmetic and not a warranty issue! Ended up saying F-it and put on power stop Z36 on all four corners. I'm very happy with my decision. But I think it is unacceptable to have to do this so soon on a brand new truck. Oh well!

I'm shopping for some drilled/slotted rotors. Does that company make Gen1's? Mind if I ask how much$$?

 

[esigfrid250]

$430 for rotors and pads front and rear.

Not too shabby

It is just cosmetic, braking function and performance is unaffected unless the scoring exceeds minimum rotor thickness.

The most common cause is debris getting between the pads and rotors, which is not a warrantable issue regardless.
