Duralast recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Neotek Corporation, Inc. (Neotek) is recalling certain replacement brake rotors, branded as DURALAST, part number 5399, sold exclusively through Autozone. Some of the brake rotors may have been produced from castings with narrow thickness in the bridge between the mounting surface and the braking surface. The narrow area of the casting can allow for fractures.
What could happen
If the casting fractures, there may be a decrease in braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Neotek will notify the Autozone retail outlets and post public notices about the recall. Any affected DURALAST brake rotor will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during January 2013. Owners may contact Neotek at 1-877-978-5490.
