Question:
Which of the following is correct about brake fade?
A
Can be caused by the brakes getting very hot.
explanation
Brakes are designed so brake shoes or pads rub against the brake drum or disks to slow the vehicle. Braking creates heat, but brakes are designed to take a lot of heat. However, brakes can fade or fail from excessive heat caused by using them too much and not relying on the engine braking effect. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
