Lamborghini Gallardo and Murciélago

The risk

For the carbon and ceramic brakes, the stainless steel bolts fixing the rotor to the metal bell may fail due to stress corrosion cracking where the vehicle is used in environments with a high salt content. If the disc lost more than eight of the ten bolts there would be a loss of braking capacity on that wheel. This could slightly increase the braking distance, which could in turn result in a collision.

Product: Passenger car equipped with carbon and ceramic brakes.
