My Ford Fusion is a 2017 and at 29,000 Km. I’ve been told that my rear rotors are warped and likely rear brakes need replacing. Thankfully they’re covered under the 30,000 Km. warranty. Are Ford’s rotors being made thinner, possibly in Mexico?!!

The rotors are not thinner but likely made in China

Some of the Ford rotors are made in Brazil

Since op’s not paying for the repairs, I don’t see an actual problem . . .

But the OP will be paying for the next brake job, and the ones afterwards, and if the replacements last as long as the originals, that’s a concern 29,000 km = 18,020 miles
