What happened

Bosch Brake Components LLC is recalling certain aftermarket replacement front brake pads sold under multiple brand names including Bosch QuietCast, Bosch Blue, Prostop, Duralast Gold, Duralast, Stop Master, UltraStop, UltraLife, BrakeBest, and Prostop Platinum. The affected brake pads were manufactured between October 1, 2014, and October 31, 2015, and are designed for 2001-2007 Ford Taurus, 2001-2005 Mercury Sable, 1995-1999 Ford Taurus SHO, 1995-2002 Lincoln Continental, and 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII vehicles. The brake pad shim may shift out of position and contact the brake disc, causing damage to the disc.

The recall began on May 26, 2016. Affected consumers should contact Bosch customer service at 1-888-715-3616.
