Uneven Brake Wear - caliper erratic front hydraulic outboard pad outboard right rotor

When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Uneven right front brake wear with the right front outboard pad being worn an amount inconsistent with the rest of the front brake pads

1. Inspect the front caliper(s) for binding/seizure at either the slides or caliper piston (Outboard pad wear is not usually caused by a binding caliper piston, however since this condition is not fully understood the recommendation is made to ensure nothing is overlooked). Verify there is no residual hydraulic pressure acting on the right front caliper which could cause brake drag.
2. If there are no signs of excessive heat, binding, or residual hydraulic pressure, replace the brake pads.
3. Do not machine the brake rotors unless required under the conditions of existing gm procedure. (Excessive warpage/scoring, see applicable service bulletins and service manuals).
4. Follow the burnishing procedure listed in the service manual (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP, PER ENGINEERING).

Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance. This diagnostic approach was developed for the vehicle with the VIN you entered and should not be automatically be used for other vehicles with similar symptoms.
