Very worn or damaged brake pads can compromise your car’s stopping power and affect overall safety performance. This is why your brake pads are checked for wear and damage at each Mazda Scheduled service. Brake fluid is a hydraulic liquid used to transfer pressure from the brake pedal to the braking mechanism.
