How long are rotors guaranteed for?
Brake rotors last roughly 70,000 miles, but they need to be inspected for uneven wear. If they do become slightly misshapen, you can have them turned or machined to be round again.
What should you do if your car’s rotors are warped?
Brake noise is another sign your rotors may be warped. This is because the rotors will be contacting your brake pads unevenly. The noise can sound like a thumping or a pitched hum. If you suspect you have warped rotors or your brakes are failing, it is important that you avoid driving your vehicle and contact a mechanic right away.
Are there brake rotors that are not covered under warranty?
Rotors are considered wear items, they wont be covered under warranty by any brand of vehicle. Have a look at Rockauto – brake rotors are not expensive, and not hard to do yourself – or get your local mechanic to change them out. That way you can avoid getting held to ransom by the steelership!
Can you replace brake rotors after 28K miles?
The rotor areas that weren’t covered by the pads rusted badly, and the brakes pulsed evermore.. eventually ended up replacing the rotors. At 28K miles it is very unlikely you’ll get any assist from the manufacturer on brake rotors IMHO.

Why do my brake rotors keep warping?
Quite frankly your braking habits are the most likely cause. In addition to that it is very easy to warp rotors by driving through a puddle while they are still hot from a hard stop.

Can a cross drill cause rotors to crack?
Cheap cross-drills will crack or fail early, drilling holes in rotors weakens them and creates stress riser that cause cracks, as well, the holes can shave the pads and can shorten their life. That doesn’t mean the rotors Yeti recommends will be like that, it can be done properly and not cause failures, which seems to be Yeti’s experience.
