old rotor ..... thanks for that post. I complained about my SQUEALING brakes last time I was at the dealership, but got no fix, was told my brakes looked great. Just made a call to them and informed them of the TSB and they've got a "brake kit" ordered for me. I'll get the updated stuff too. Thanks again.

Glad too help! Let us know how it goes. How many miles on yours and are you ever hard on them? I'm not real hard on mine and I get a little squeal but not bad.

I had my brakes done on my 05 and they not only don't squeal anymore they also don't blacken my wheels much anymore. It's the way it should have been from the beginning. I'm very satisfied.

I had the first brake TSB done, stopped the squealing and some dust. Of course, I reecently put carbotech bobcat pads on it. Now they scream like a banshee on the street and coat my wheels with dust in less than a week. I love em
Stops like throwing TWO anchors out the window.

I'm taking my 8 in on Monday for an oil change, the break noise, and tire rotation.
I hope they don't have to keep my 8 for the break stuff...I won't be a happy camper!!!

I can't seem to open the service bulletin. Can someone tell me what it says?
Also, if the new pads produce less dust, I wonder if they stop the car as well... any comments from those who have them?

ok, Im going to call my dealership tomorrow and ask them to get the parts ready by tuesday so I can bring my 8 in !
Well, I asked them to replace my brake around a month ago. Cuz it squeak like hell. Yes, its gone for most part now. but still Squeak once in a while.
I hope this "Second fix" will fix everything once and for all
