Has anyone had any experience with the brake calipers clunking on the first
brake application after changing direction? The dealer says this is normal
for this car. I told them it's bull for a $35K car to make that kind of
noise.

Thanks,
John C.

 

That happens on my 98 civic. Could be faulty
installation of brake pads, but probably normal.

Yep. I just fixed it, sorry. When I updated the tsb folder with a pile of
stuff I was given, I forgot to update that link.

In any case, there's no index file in the tsb folder, so raw directory
listings are possible:

If you want a raw directory listing, just snip everything up to "tsb" in
the URL above.

I know some newer CR-Vs have that problem, but you could sign in and

But is it harmful? Or is the fix just to placate fussy customers?

No harm at all. Just annoying as hell. It's solely an NVH issue.
