Brake fade is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated application of the brakes, especially in high load or high speed conditions. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disk brakes. Brake fade occurs most often during high performance driving or when going down a long, steep hill.
When can occur water brake fade?
Water brake fade can occur when excessive moisture, such as rain or standing water, comes into contact with brake components, particularly in vehicles with drum brakes. This moisture can lead to a reduction in friction between the brake pads and rotors, diminishing braking effectiveness. Additionally, if the water causes brake components to overheat, it can further exacerbate the loss of braking power. Proper brake maintenance and inspection are essential to mitigate the risks associated with water brake fade.
