Hi Guys,
So I bought my 2019 GT350 earlier this year. Didn’t drive the car much with all the lockdowns, and yet somehow, my car ended up making a shudder sound while braking, from the front driver’s side. The pedal shakes and there’s a ton of vibration. Took it to the dealer, and as I suspected, it was warped rotors. At 2300 miles.
The dealer is trying to resurface/turn my rotor, but I remember a service bulletin that specifically says NOT to turn the rotors on GT350’s. Here it is:
Thing is, it only mentions 2015-2017’s, but does it also include the 2018-2020’s? My supplement manual doesn’t have anything about this. Not sure if the FSM’s have it either.
I told the dealer about this and they said there are no service bulletins for this car regarding this issue, so they will just resurface the rotor. But where do I find anything that states this should be handled differently?

SSM 45903 - 2015-2017 Shelby GT350 And GT350R Brake Service
2015-2017 Shelby GT350 and GT350R vehicles should not have the brake rotors machined when servicing the brake system. Replacement of brake rotors is the only acceptable service of brake rotors on GT350 and GT350R vehicles. GT350 and GT350Rvehicles are equipped with a brake system designed for high speed and superior fade resistance. Occasional brake squeal and elevated levels of brake dust may occur. This is normal and does not affect brake system performance. Refer to the Workshop Manual Section 206-00 and the Mustang Owner's Manual and the Shelby GT350 Owner's Manual Supplement for further information.
