Default Turned rotors

Had warped rotors at 7000 miles, it turning the rotors O.K. or should I demand new rotors?

TIA

Default Get new rotors.... turning only fixes it for the short-term -

My dealer turned them twice - the second time they told me they had replaced the rotors and pads until I showed them the "pre-rusted" parts they must've used....

THe new rotors on the 3rd pass are fine so far...

It's a known issue and they should be fine with it.

Best of luck

Default This was recently discussed in Roundel

Turning rotors is a lost art, and even if someone can do it, it only prevents the rotors rewarping again for a short time. Plus it takes the rotors dangerously close to tolerances.

Their bottom line was, toss bad rotors and start over.

Turning a warped rotor doesn't seem to last, good rotors have enough material for 1 turn I think.
