brake pads- is this true?
#21
If it is done under warranty, they would have used OEM. Brake pads are rarely a warranty item and can be replaced with whatever you are willing to pay for in that case. If the replacements last as long, you would have been better off doing that job yourself and putting something decent on it. I don't see how a set of quality, correct brake pads could possibly cause caliper failure without some liberal application of neglect.

exactly what moose said.
just like in your car- if you keep using the brake after the pad is gone- you'll destroy the calipers not before long. the dealer will 100% of the time use factory (or factory approved) parts for warranty work- if you / they use an aftermarket part, it voids the warranty- says it right in the fine print.
I come with great news however... follow this link for an update to this thread.

Actually, you will destroy the rotors before the calipers, and that would be the neglect I am talking about. That metal on metal sound should speak volumes. I have seen a Japanese model that was ran like that, eventually the piston pushed out far enough it wouldn't seal and all the brake fluid leaked out. Caliper was fine though after a good cleaning. Glad you got some good news on it, I guess you will need some OEM metallic pads then

BRP will warranty your 2012-2014 OEM organic pads if you have less than 300 miles on them- and replace them with the metallic pads if you ask for them.
