BRAKES QUALITY REVIEW – 21MY UPDATE Brakes Engineering 9th December 2021 Confidential ©2018 PTA 21MY 18'' brakes Executive summary Purpose e off the e review w: • Update on E-PACE, Discovery Sport and RR Evoque Brakes Refinement Performance : 21MY introduction adversely affecting low TIS metrics. • Review iQM Project status (Root cause, Escape point, ICA/PCA, next steps). Expected d outcomess : • Share technical direction and next steps on timeline to recover Brake Refinement as soon as possible. Executive e Summary: • • • Status – Brakes Refinement performance has deteriorated at 21MY for low TIS. Issues are split into two categories: 1) Noise when braking from moderate speed (grinding – iQM P342439). 2) Noise at end of abrupt stop (graunch – iQM P343739). • These Refinement issues do not affect the brake system primary function. • Technical actions are in place and suppliers are involved to implement ICA and PCA asap. 51 Brakes Content 21MY – E-PACE, Discovery Sport, RR Evoque 21MY Y wass a majorr change e pointt forr Brakess Systems,, supporting g US S Legislation,, vehicle e efficiency y and d ADAS S features; • Roll-out of decoupled brakes – Integrated Power Brake (IPB) • Improved pedal feel, Actuation NVH, decoupled system supporting ADAS implementation. • Introduction of Lightweight disc on E-PACE (previously implemented with New Front End on Discovery Sport and RR Evoque) • Reduced un-sprung mass, improved ride quality. • Low-Cu compliant front pad material • Compliant with Jan-2021 US legislative requirement on Copper content. • Zero-Cu compliant rear pad material • Compliant with Jan-2025 US legislative requirement. • New CBI/Hitachi 18” front caliper with positive pad retraction, high roll-back seals on rear calipers • Caliper technology for low drag – improved efficiency, lower emissions, reduced pad wear. g resultss in n extended d bedding-in n period d forr friction n components. • Howeverr – lowerr drag • Auto-hold function • This is getting very positive customer feedback (eg JD Powers). • Friction n couple e related d issuess are e the e outstanding g challenges.. • Despite e these e modell Open n Projects,, JLR R overalll remainss in n a Leadership p position n forr Brake e NVH H (2021 1 JD D Powerss IQS S data). nd • Brakess NVH H – Noisy/Vibrate/Shudderr classed d 2 bestt attribute e on n 21MY Y Defenderr v Midsize e Premium m SUV. 52 34 SYSTEM BOARD REVIEW: CES_700 - BRAKES TIMELINE Prediction (R/1000) Warranty Data (R/1000) SSM 75449 21MY MP1 Zinc dust deleted (H/W & Graz) Zinc dust deleted (Itatiaia) Opposed pad grinding Disc roughness (study) Roott Cause;; Contamination of brake pad material with zinc dust (transit protection) on disc rotor friction surface impacting time for system bedding. PCA;; Deletion of Zinc dust on rotor rubbing path (implemented 28-Jun Halewood/Graz, 28-Aug Itatiaia). Significant reduction in cases following implementation. 24MY MP1 Zero Cu GA9112 L3 21MY MP1 Opposed pad grinding Low Met pads (available in Service) Disc roughness (study) Roott Cause;; Excitation due to pad material/disc stick-slip mechanism, as vehicle transitions from dynamic to rest. PCA;; Zero Cu pad material for implementation 24MY (Sep-23). 24MY MP1 Zero Cu GA9112 L3 53 ABENTLEY COLOUR SUMMARY – REVISED GRAUNCH ASSESSMENT • During ‘Characterisation’ section, half of stops are done at 0.25g gauge and half done at 0.5g gauge. •captures more data in event space of graunch issue (aggressive end of stop). • ‘Whole Vehicle Assessment’ (WVA) done across a wider deceleration range to ensure more aggressive stops are captured. - - Vehicle test method developed to characterise Graunch along with Creep/Groan (Release) Vehicle testing of multiple graunch palliatives has been conducted; Pad materials Grease and shim changes Caliper modification Optimum pad material for graunch is zero copper GA9112-L3, target introduction at 24MY. Testing has highlighted that disc corrosion is an influencing factor (eg - low vehicle usage during Covid restrictions). • • • • • 54 34 SYSTEM BOARD REVIEW: CES_700 - BRAKES VEHICLE TESTING – GRAUNCH SUMMARY Creep/ groan Creep/ groan Graunch Graunch Current production pad material (GA9510) performs well for release noise (creep/groan) but exhibits end of stop graunch. Performance pad (AMS2) material demonstrates improved end of stop graunch, at the expense of increased potential for release noise. Proposed as a Service Fix for critical customers (fix on fail). Creep/ groan Graunch Optimum material for graunch is zero copper GA9112-L3, target introduction at 24MY. 55 34 SYSTEM BOARD REVIEW: CES_700 - BRAKES PTA 21MY 18” FRONT CALIPER Positive retraction springs pull pads clear of disc when off-brake; Reduces mean drag from 5.25Nm (19MY) to 2.5Nm. This have a positive effect on fuel consumption and C02 emission but impacting bedding time 56 34 SYSTEM BOARD REVIEW: CES_700 - BRAKES PTA 21MY 18” FRONT PAD FINISH GRINDING Current pad is finish-machined with tool path that is concentric to the machined finish on the brake disc Proposal from pad supplier to invert the machining path, to accelerate friction material bedding – successfully trialled, release in progress, introduction Feb-2022. 57
