On certain vehicles, the front brake pad material could separate from the backing plate due to insufficient adhesion. If pad separation occurs, there could be loss of braking ability with the front brake, which could lead to a possible crash. Correction: Front brake pads will be replaced with ones that have the pad material properly adhered to the backing plates.
