Brake noise????

I saw on a previous thread that the 2010's had service bulletins to replace the brake pads for that darn skreeching!!!!! Please tell me that the 2011's have a service bulletin also. My 2011 RT limited skreeches when backing up or moving forward and its LOUD!!!! :wrong:

Unless there's something else going on, It should have come from the factory with Gen. 3 pads, Either way it's still under warranty so bring it back to your dealer.

I agree, it should have Gen 3 pads already. Sounds like they are dirty, or glazed, or both. Clean the rotors, calipers, and exposed portions of the pads thoroughly with brake parts cleaner. I'd tell you to blow it dry with high pressure air, but that's no longer considered safe. Then take it out and try it. If the noise persists after a few stops, the pads are probably glazed. Try a few hard stops to deglaze them. Get going 45-50 on and empty stretch of road, then get on the brakes real hard (panic stop). Do this several times in a row. Hopefully that will cure it. If not, the brakes will have to be dismantled and deglazed. The dealer will charge you for this service. BTW, never put the Spyder away immediately after washing it. Damp pads are very noisy!
