When brake pads are worn down to the metal, they start making direct contact with the brake rotor, causing friction and damage to the rotor. The metal-on-metal contact can lead to grooves, scoring, o r heat cracks on the rotor, affecting its smooth operation. To check for damaged rotors, Honda City owners can:

Visually inspect the rotors for grooves o r scoring.
Feel for vibrations during braking, which could indicate a warped o r damaged rotor.
If the rotors are significantly damaged, they will need to be resurfaced o r replaced.
