Affinia Global Brake & Chassis, a leading brake component manufacturer and a unit of Affinia Group Inc., announced that it has launched www.badbrakes.net as part of its continuing Public Awareness Program on the potential safety risks associated with a class of lighter and thinner brake rotors that do not meet Original Equipment (OE) specifications.
The new website is intended to be a clearinghouse for news, expert advice and commentary, and conversational give-and-take – all on the topic of “lightweight” or “thin-wall” brake rotors. The company believes that such an information exchange among the readers who make up this community will help brake specialists to develop best practices, auto enthusiasts to gain cutting-edge knowledge and ordinary motorists to understand and solve their brake problems. It is not intended to promote Affinia products.
Affinia Group Inc. is an innovative global leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and marketing of industrial grade products and services, including extensive offerings of aftermarket parts for automotive and heavy-duty vehicles. With more than $2 billion in annual revenue, Affinia has operations in North and South America, Europe, Asia and India.
