Do Brake Pads Have an Expiration Date?

[VonFaith]

Brake pads do not have an expiration date, but they do have a replacement cycle. Replacement cycle for brake pads: Brake pads are generally replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. It is recommended to inspect the brake linings every 5,000 kilometers, checking not only the remaining thickness but also the wear condition of the linings, whether the wear on both sides is even, and whether they retract smoothly. Any abnormal conditions should be addressed immediately. Definition of brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of the braking largely depends on the brake pads. Typically, brake pads consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT4 oven temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution meets quality standards.
