It depends—replace rotors with pads if rotor thickness is below the minimum spec or if rotors show scoring or runout; otherwise pads alone are acceptable.

Technicians measure rotor thickness and runout to determine service. If rotors meet factory specs they can often be resurfaced or left in place with new pads; if not, rotors should be replaced to restore proper braking performance on your 2023 Dodge Hornet.

• Dealer measures rotor thickness and runout during inspection.
• Rotors with heavy scoring or below-spec thickness are replaced.
• New pads on worn rotors can reduce braking performance and cause faster wear.
