Brake fade is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated application of the brakes, especially in high load or high speed conditions. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disk brakes. Brake fade occurs most often during high performance driving or when going down a long, steep hill.

What is the cause of break fade?
Brake fade is caused by the overheating of the brake system components, which leads to a loss of braking effectiveness. This can occur due to excessive or prolonged braking, driving in hilly terrain, towing heavy loads, or using brakes that are worn or not properly maintained. The high temperatures reduce the friction between the brake pads and rotors, resulting in decreased stopping power.
