Default "New Style Rotors???

I recently noticed that my '02 ES300 with 4100 miles has a shimmy when braking from highway speeds. I took it to the dealer today. I picked it up after the service shop was closed so I didn't get to talk to the service manager, but the invoice (warranty paid) shows they replaced the pads and rotors (it's not clear if they did all 4 or just the front two as I suspect) with "New Style Rotors and Pads".

Any of you know what this means? : Did they update the parts? My car was built in early June, 2002. Perhaps there was an update and my problem is common? It really doesn't matter now I don't think but I am just curious.

I have heard this from other 02 owners. From what I have read and can figure, there was a silent recall (only replaced on cars that presented with problems). It involved the rotors and pads and usually showed up in the first 5k of use.

See my post on this subject: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=79974
Sounds like you had TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) #BR2007 performed.
