At my scheduled 20,000-mile service on June 6, 2026, the dealership measured my rear driver side brake pad at 3mm while my front pads measured 10mm. This extreme difference in wear is consistent with the known premature rear brake pad wear issue VW acknowledged on 2022\u20132023 Taos vehicles and addressed with a warranty extension bulletin. My 2024 Taos was not included in that bulletin despite showing the identical problem. At only 20,600 miles, rear pads should not be at 3mm while front pads remain at 10mm \u2014 this is not normal wear and indicates a manufacturing defect in the brake pad material or an electronic parking brake calibration issue causing rear brake bias. Brakes are a critical safety system. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether the 2024 Taos is affected by the same defect, and whether the warranty extension should be expanded to include 2024 model year vehicles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"VOLKSWAGEN","productModel":"TAOS","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
