Yes, a rotor can get bent by hitting a curb, especially if the impact is strong enough. When a vehicle strikes a curb, the sudden force can cause misalignment or deformation of various components, including the brake rotor. This may lead to issues such as vibration while braking or uneven wear on brake pads. It's advisable to have the rotor and related components inspected after such an impact.
