Brake pads are not covered warranty but calipers are. There have been numerous people on the forums that got their fading, chipping calipers replaced for a set of new ones under warranty.

Not true.

Hes not talking aout the actual pads pealing. Hes talking about the paint on the calipers pealing off which is covered under warranty. Honesty even if the power train warranty is voided im pretty sure they still honor this one. I mean there have been MANY claims for this one and who goes fast enough to make the paint fly off

they usually blame your wheel cleaner or rock chips or scratches or whatever. you usually have to be in pretty good with the dealer to get them replaced, and the cost for them to replace all 4 is around $5200.

Take it to the dealer, they will cover it do not worry. They replaced all of my brembo calipers, no questions asked!!!!!!They were all peeling the same as yours. As long as it is under warranty they have to cover it.

exactly, it's the district rep's discretion. since the brakes still work mechanically as intended they don't have to replace them under warranty. luckily, my dealer new me and the DR approved it and $5200 later(on ), i had 4 new calipers.
