What are the causes of brake failure?
1 Answers
Reasons for brake failure: 1. Wear of brake pads and brake discs leading to thinning of thickness. For example, in disc brakes, the caliper clamps the brake disc for braking over time, and friction will make the surfaces of the caliper and brake disc thinner and thinner, which will lengthen the travel of the brake pedal; 2. Problems with brake fluid. Most cars' braking systems are hydraulic brakes, which require brake fluid to pressurize and transmit this braking force to the brake pads; 3. Tire wear. The lifespan of tires is generally 60,000 kilometers. Tires nearing the end of their lifespan will have their treads worn very thin, and the adhesion of long-term friction tires to the ground will also deteriorate, leading to an increase in braking distance.
