2015 used genesis with 18K miles on carvana-brake rotors resurfaced at 1000 miles...is this a red flag?

[winobee]

Seeing a used genesis 2015 5.0 V8 model with low mileage but carfax report says that the car had brake rotors resurfaced at 1000 miles..Is this an indication of harsh or abusive driving of the car?
Was there a TSB on specific VIN numbers for brake rotors related work? Just curious and wary as to why a car would need a brake job at just 1000 miles.

Most likely the first owner incorrectly bedded in the pads for the first few hundred miles and caused a minor rotor warp.

Thanks suburbazine...That was a quick response
so will the rotor resurfacing affect the life of the brake/rotor assembly or any other components within the system. Is there any cause for concern here?

Resurfacing should only affect the life of the rotors depending on how much was taken off. Some people try to resurface them when the pads wear out but that's generally an oversold procedure. Turning worn rotors significantly thins them and makes them susceptible to heat failures. When your rotors get thinner you get more brake fluid down in the calipers and the system gets less "firm" feeling at the pedal.

I'm not a fan of resurfacing worn rotors anyway and feel that if you're taking them off the car, replace them.

Noticed a pulse from the brake pedal during hard braking. 30K miles.
Resurfaced the 2 front rotors. Rear rotors looked good. Installed Akebono brake pads all 4 corners.
Sweet! Better braking, quiet, no excessive dust.
