SummaryTSB: REVISION NOTICE February 28, 2018 Rev1: ? Applicability has been updated to include 2017 ?2018 model year GS F vehicles. Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. 2016 - 2018 model year GS F vehicles are equipped with high-friction brake pads, specifically designed for superior braking performance and response. As a result, the brakes may exhibit a squeal or squeak type noise. For customers who find these characteristics objectionable, brake pads with alternative material are now available as service parts. NOTE ? Any changes made to the brake pad material may result in altered and possibly reduced braking performance and/or feeling under certain driving conditions, including track use. ? Please note the disclosures stated in the Brembo® Brake Disclosures Reference section, which include the GS F sales information, both in online and print form. Discuss with the customer prior to installing the alternate brake pads listed in this Service Bulletin. ? It is an inherent characteristic of materials and design of brake pads used in this high-performance brake system that brake noise/squeal/squeak may result.
