Federal-Mogul is reporting that its Wagner Brakes brand is the first in the aftermarket to offer replacement front ceramic brake pads for 2011 Ford Fiesta and Jeep Grand Cherokee models. As a premier global original equipment friction supplier, Federal-Mogul says it leads the aftermarket in coverage of domestic and foreign-nameplate vehicles and says it is consistently the first to introduce replacement pads for late-model applications.

According to Federal-Mogul, new Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic disc brake pads (Fiesta, #QC1454; Grand Cherokee, #QC1455) feature sophisticated, application-specific ceramic formulations developed within Federal-Mogul’s global network of advanced technology centers. Each ThermoQuiet pad also incorporates Federal-Mogul’s award-winning, proprietary Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) one-piece pad design and unique Wagner EDGE Laser-Shaped Friction technology for quieter performance, superior stopping power and longer pad life. Many ThermoQuiet pad sets also come complete with installation hardware kits.

“Our focus on being first-to-market in the brake category is part of Federal-Mogul’s strong commitment to helping service providers attract new customers across all vehicle nameplates,” said Ken Selinger, director of friction products, North America, Federal-Mogul. “As a result, shop professionals understand they can service more applications of all ages, including the current model year, simply by relying on their Wagner Brakes supplier.”
