    Default rear brake pads need replacement after 60k?

    2010 crv. Bought end of 2012 used with 52000 kms. Brake pads never replaced. Got all four replaced at 130000 kms. Just got 190000 kms service done. Honda telling me rear brake pads need replaced. They took a pic. 3mm left.

    Is that possible?

    Could be possible.

    Its funny, selling Honda/Acura parts for 6 years now and it is noticeable that the rear brake pads sell faster then the front ones.
    Doesn't make sense since most of the stopping power is in the front.

    Pads on our Odyssey will need replacing soon. It has 55,000 kms.

    Pads on my old BMW only lasted around ~20k kms in the rear. The fronts were hardly worn. TC, stability control etc play a role too.

    Depends. Newer cars have electronic brake proportioning and could put more wear on the rear.

    http://www.knowyourparts.com/technic...-and-bearings/

    Example: http://www.aa1car.com/library/honda_...brake_wear.htm

    It is the same for a lot of other vehicles too.

    So on older cars, the rear pads often last upwards or 70,000 or more miles, or about two to three times longer than the front linings. But on the newer vehicles with Electronic Brake Proportioning, the rear brakes work much harder, run hotter and wear at a much faster rate.

    Consequently, it's not unusual to see rear pads on these vehicles that are worn out in as little as 15,000 to 24,000 miles.

    The rate at which the rear brake pads wear depend on the type of driving you do. Stop-and-go city driving obviously uses the brake much more than highway driving, so the brake pads will wear faster. Likewise, aggressive driving will shorten the life of the pads.

    Possibly a stuck rear caliper as well causing premature wear??...

    See that on RX Lexus and Toyota Highlanders often.

    It's from stability control kicking in, probably doesn't help that we get 4-5 months of questionable road conditions

    Yep...the joys of modern cars. Speaking of which, I should check my rears. I think they're almost shot @ 66,000 kms

    I guess 60 k isn't bad. Honda majorly under specs rotor/caliper size though so I think that could be part of why they eat brakes.

    60k kms? Thats all?

    I dont have any experience with Hondas, but both of my last 2 vehicles have gone over 100k kms (front and rear), and these are trucks that see occasional towing..... 60k kms seems pretty weak for a passenger car

    My previous 8th Civic Si chewed thru rear pads a lot faster than my old plain jane EK hatch did.

    I used to do my brakes every 60,000kms, but, my last F-150 had 122,000kms on it when I traded it in with the original pads, and I did a fair bit of towing too.

    Wow, I just replaced my rear 8th gen Si pads @ 100K at the advice of the dealer and they probably still could have gone another 20K. Did you only brake with your hand

    Great call, didn't even cross my mind!

    The other thing I would look at is ensure your e-brake is fully disengaged.

    It's definitely from things like traction control, "torque vectoring" (done the cheap way using brakes), stability control, lane departure and lane keep assist (can brake individual wheels), etc. It's not at all uncommon, especially these days with all the nannies.

    Holy shit! 100K?
    I changed mine at about 80K.

    3000km per mm is about normal.
