| Summary of Issue | Clarification of OOS Violation 393.48a- Rotor has severe rusting on the rotor friction surface on either side (light rusting on the friction surface is normal). |
| Justification or Need | Inspector judgement varies from one inspector to anther on how much rust on brake rotor is to be considered a violation. |
| Request for Action | Clarification or definition of severe rusting as used in OOS criteria violation 393.48a. I know light rusting on rotor is normal would you consider attached picture of rotor found on a motor coach a solid violation of 393.48a. img_5029 is inside shows what I believe to be severe rusting and img_5031 is outside of same rotor. |
