Narrator: The brakes on your Lexus vehicle form part of a complex braking system that is designed to help bring your vehicle safely to a stop.

This system consists of several important brake components like calipers... rotors… brake pads…. brake shoes… and brake drums.

When you step on your brake pedal, the caliper applies pressure to the brake pads which are then forced against the moving brake rotor, which causes friction and slows down the vehicle.

Some brake components, such as brake pads, will wear as a result of normal usage. Other components can develop excessive rust, dust or dirt buildup, which can affect their performance and longevity.

Along with your brake pads, your Lexus’ brake rotors and brake calipers will also wear with regular use. Corrosion can form on calipers and its piston boots and seals can get damaged over time.
[A rotor is highlighted.]
When a rotor is worn, it will lose its smooth surface and may have grooves, or pits. Your Lexus technicians can machine the rotor to remove a layer of corrosion so it remains in good working condition.
