Rear Brake Pads for Mazda CX-5 2012–2016 – K0Y12648ZD

Mazda CX-5 rear brake pads are installed in the rear wheel brake assembly and create friction against the brake disc when the driver applies the brakes. This slows the wheels, helping the vehicle decelerate in a controlled manner and remain stable when stopping.

During use, the brake pad friction material gradually wears down with repeated braking, vehicle load and driving conditions. When the pads wear beyond their limit, braking performance may decrease, stopping distances may increase or unusual noises may come from the rear wheels.

Rear brake pads with part number K0Y12648ZD are listed for the 2012–2016 Mazda CX-5. When replacing them, check brake disc wear, caliper condition and the parking brake mechanism to identify the correct brake pad type for the vehicle.

Function and Role

Rear brake pads create friction against the brake disc when the hydraulic system applies force to the brake caliper pistons. This friction slows the wheels and works with the front brakes to control deceleration.

Main functions include:

• Create friction to slow the wheels.

• Help the vehicle stop steadily in different driving situations.

• Work with the front braking system to distribute braking force appropriately.

• Help maintain vehicle control while slowing down and stopping.

Key Benefits

• Part number K0Y12648ZD helps identify rear brake pads for the Mazda CX-5.

• Helps restore friction when the old brake pads have worn to their limit.

• Supports stable braking when the correct type is used and properly installed.

• Suitable for routine rear brake system maintenance after confirming fitment.

Signs to Inspect or Replace

Rear brake pads may need inspection if you notice any of the following:

• Squealing or metallic noises when braking.

• The friction material is close to or below the permitted wear limit.

• The brakes feel less responsive or deceleration feels unusually different.

• The vehicle shakes while braking or the brake pads show signs of uneven wear.

• The brake warning light appears, if the vehicle is equipped with a relevant warning feature.

These symptoms may also be caused by a warped brake disc, contaminated friction surfaces or a malfunctioning brake caliper. Inspect the entire brake assembly before identifying the cause.

Replacement Recommendations

• Check brake pad thickness and the condition of the brake disc surface.

• Replace brake pads as a set on the same axle; do not replace just one side.

• Check the pistons, slide pins and parking brake mechanism according to the vehicle configuration.

• Install according to the proper technical procedure and bed in the brakes as directed.

• Check brake operation before returning the vehicle to service.

Check Fitment Before Ordering

Mazda CX-5 brake configurations may vary by trim and market. Before ordering rear brake pads with part number K0Y12648ZD, provide the VIN or the number on the old brake pads for a catalog check to help ensure you select the correct part for your vehicle.
