Brake dust

Getting a lot of brake dust on front brakes, has about 4K miles. Anyone know if Ford would warranty new pad's?. I don't use the brakes hard..

It's pretty common and I seriously doubt a dealer would warranty the pads unless there's a caliper failure or some other catastrophic failure in the braking system.

the brake dust will calm down as you put some more miles on it. I just turned 9k miles and the dust has really calmed down.

Ditto. 12,000+ miles and dust all but gone.

Bed the brakes in and the dust goes away.

Several breads talking about it here. It does get better with some more miles. I bed mine in at 3k and it helped some. I’m at 12k now and it’s still a decent bit more dust than my 13 F150 ever was, but it is a bigger truck. Chances of warranty are slim to none since they are functioning the way they are supposed to. Also, if you have adaptive cruise and use it a lot it seems to significantly increases brake dust.
