Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle was being personally inspected while stationary. I have noticed a significant wear difference in the right front brake rotor while it is being bedded. Upon closer inspection, i have determined that there are 2 different front rotor types on this vehicle. The right rotor is a single piece rotor while the left rotor is the dual-piece rotor that is supposed to be on the slr version. According to the manual, the single rotor minimum thickness is front 4. 5mm, rear 6. 5mm while the dual-rotor minimum thickness is front 19mm, rear 19m. They are significantly different sizes which will possibly cause adverse braking action and possible loss of control of the vehicle.
