The Volt has new style brake rotors with some kind of coating, the abbreviation for the coating is FNC. I don't know what it stands for but it has something to do with bonding nitrogen to the rotor. FNC is supposed to harden the rotor and keep it from rusting. It's suppose to last the life of the normal car which seems like overkill on a Volt. The write ups say it reduces brake dust but don't say how. Perhaps it's the elimination of dust from dust since the rotors don't rust, or maybe the harder surface allows a more dust free brake pad to be used, I don't know.
