    Are Brakes

    Question, I know when we use are back brake it will activate the front also. But when we use just the front doz it activate the rear brake also.. Reading here in my owner manual it says it doz. But I just had my recall done an the service writer says it doz not.

    Service writer needs some tech training. Yes, front brake lever actuation does activate a portion of the rear brake.

    Yep. Service writer is a dumbazz. Don't ever assume that anyone at the dealership knows anything. It never ceases to amaze me just how stupid most of them are.

    Sorry but you guys are wrong, the front brake only operates the front

    Mine says the same thing. 2014, non ABS.
    Since I have the manual open, in the brake section, the dual CBS linkage is quite evident.

    Tailgunner: what makes you believe they are not linked both ways?
    Seriously, I'm always up for tech training.
    Cheers,
