Neotek Recalls DURALAST Brake Rotors Due to Fracture Risk

Neotek is recalling DURALAST brake rotors sold at Autozone because a narrow casting area may fracture, reducing braking performance and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake rotor fracture) that leads to decreased braking performance and an increased risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Neotek Corporation, Inc. is recalling certain replacement brake rotors branded as DURALAST, part number 5399. These rotors were sold exclusively through Autozone. The recall involves 10,626 units.

Some of the brake rotors may have been produced from castings with a narrow thickness in the bridge between the mounting surface and the braking surface. This narrow area of the casting can allow for fractures. If the casting fractures, there may be a decrease in braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.

Neotek will notify Autozone retail outlets and post public notices about the recall. Any affected DURALAST brake rotor will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during January 2013. Owners may contact Neotek at 1-877-978-5490 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
