Default Rotor scored heavily

Was checking my air pressure this morning and noticed my left rear rotor is heavily scored. At first I thought parking brake but on the 14's and 15's the book says the parking brake goes to both rear brakes. It's under factory warranty but at 10k mikes, shoulld not be all chewed up.

Thanks


Steve

This happened to mine ... turned out to be a stone in between the rotor and the pad ... pull the wheel and pad and check for stone or gouge where stone was ... probably what happened to yours

My '11 did that, too.
I pulled the rotors and had them touched up at O'Reilly's (They did it free 'cause I'm a GOOD customer) and got new EBC pads.
All is well now.

O'Reillys can turn the rotors for the tri-glide? Huh.
Did you just have them skim the surface?

Yeah, he just did a clean-up on them.
There was plenty of thickness left.

Back brakes were squeeling when I come to a stop on my 2013. 1 rotor was scored a little bit. Dealer changed out both rotors and pads under warranty.
