Hi,
Has anyone noted an issue with a rotational clicking on the two-piece rotors? I had it on the front right rotor which was replaced. I now have it on the front left. Is this a known issue?

I know this is an old thread... but I had a ticking/clicking on my 16 392, from the front brakes, especially at low speed turns. I took off the wheels and found that the shocks both had a 3in or so label stuck to them that protruded and would hit the wheel (think baseball card in your bike spokes). I cut those off and the sound was gone.

lol what? Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. The manufacturer holds the warranty $, not the user. And if the manufacturer has a process that they are going to pay the 'stealership' to perform on the car to remedy the situation at no charge to the customer.....why would the customer do it themselves?

That doesn't last long when a store goes down that path. All manufacturers perform audits of their franchises that trip red flags. They compare labor operation frequency against peer groups and warranty costs-per-unit-serviced-averages (among other metrics).
When a store trips a red flag, the manufacturer goes up their ass with a microscope and charges back repair orders that don't meet their validation criteria. Those chargebacks can be be in the hundreds of thousands. Once the store is in the audit process, there doesn't even have to be an unnecessary repair performed to add to the chargeback total. The tech might not have time-stamped the RO or even something as stupid as improper documentation will cost the store money. Either way, high warranty costs start the ball rolling...they'll just pile on EVERYTHING they find along the way. It's usually very messy for the operation when things get to that point.
The few dealers that persist even after that kind of smackdown then run afoul of their franchise agreements and lose their operation. That type of thing is rare, for obvious reasons. Dealers get the point real quick after an audit chargeback.
I get that everyone mistrusts the dealership and that's never going to change. However, having a dealer perform unnecessary warranty work should be the least of anyone's concerns. The manufacturers aren't about to throw millions of dollars a year at unnecessary warranty and they have powerful tools to combat the practice. If anything, there will be a fight to get the dealer TO DO something under warranty if they are running hot with a particular labor operation. No one wants to be on the radar.

My rotors were replaced under warranty for pulsing upon braking application.
The new rotors began to do this click sound as soon as l got home. I went to this site and found what others had done with the click and followed suit. I took off the wheels, scotch-brited the rear of the rims a bit voila! No more clicks, been 2 years...
Had that not worked, I would've followed up with the dealer again...
