SERVICE INFORMATION BULLETIN APPLICABILITY: 2004-20MY WRX and WRX STI 2013-20MY BRZ NUMBER: 06-76-20 DATE: 05/26/20 SUBJECT: Brembo Brake Calipers- Special Servicing Precautions INTRODUCTION: This Service Information Bulletin provides precautions to follow when servicing the Brembo brake calipers utilized on the models listed above. Because of their aluminum construction, it is CRITICAL to take extra care when servicing. PART INFORMATION: IMPORTANT REMINDER: When needed, always order the most up-to-date replacement hardware based on the specific VIN being repaired. This is especially important for the caliper bolts referenced below as different bolts are used for different model years. SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION: REMINDER: Customer satisfaction and retention starts with performing quality repairs. The service procedures for brake caliper removal and installation remain unchanged. Additional precautions to follow are supplied below. Always refer to the applicable Service Manual and review the full requirements of the repair being performed. The Service Manual procedures contain information critical to performing an effective repair the first time and every time. This includes but is not limited to: important SAFETY precautions, proper inspection criteria, necessary special tools, required processes and related one-time-use parts needed for a complete and lasting repair. • When caliper assembly removal is necessary, it is CRITICAL to inspect the threads of the retaining bolts closely before reinstallation. If inspection reveals the surface coating of the bolt threads is peeling or otherwise damaged, the affected bolt(s) MUST be replaced to prevent damaging the threads in the aluminum caliper body as shown in the example photos below.
