I have read other comments on this site regarding brake dust and how it improved for owners of '04/'05 Titans who had the brake recall performed. Well, I recently purchased a 2006 Titan CC and have already noticed the brake dust on the front rims to be terrible----by far the worst brake dust I have seen on any vehicle I have ever owned. I was at the dealer today and questioned them about this and he said he did not have a good answer other than this happens. His 2 suggestions were to replace them at sometime with ceramic pads and to polish the rims good to make the cleaning easier. Any other thoughts/suggestions?

The 06's shouldn't be to bad with brake dust, they fixed the problem half way through 05. My 05 had terrible brake dust when I first got it, but after the fix I only notice a small buildup if I don't wash the truck for a month or so. , before you could wash the wheels every day.

The factory puts semi-metallic pads on the truck. At least in '06 they did. At least on mine they did, and I wouldn't think mine would be different from anyone else's.....

The ceramics on mine are Akebono. They still dust. It's not as dark as the s-t dust, so it's less noticable. But it's still there, and only on the front wheels. Rears are still the factory s-t pads and like new.
