GS450h disc 'warping'

[Ziggy1024]

I've just had 3 of my 4 new discs replaced under the parts warranty, as apparently they were 'warped'. Now I'll take the choice of phrase with a pinch of salt, but they definitely weren't right! My suspicion is that it was caused by stopping with my foot on the brakes after slowing from motorway speeds, so I'll certainly try to avoid doing that with the new ones. PITA with the hybrid though, and no mention in the manual.

Has anyone seen a break-in procedure specified anywhere? I did ask at Lexus - you'd have thought they'd be keen to avoid having to do it again... I've never really worried about it on 'non-performance' brakes before, but I'll probably take the approach that I have previously for those rather than the rather lame 'take it easy for the first couple of hundred miles' that the service chap came up with.

 

On the plus side, I can confirm that I can fit the kids seats in the back of an RC courtesy car - not the most practical, but pleasant enough. 🙂
