TL;DR Akebono ProACT ACT1414 ceramic front pads from a tier-one OE brake supplier, confirmed for select 2012-2014 Ford F-150 applications via RockAuto's OEM cross-reference. Stainless hardware included, no wear sensor, no SAE J866 edge code.
The ACT1414 is Akebono's ultra-premium ceramic ProACT line, cross-referenced by RockAuto to genuine Ford OEM front-pad numbers; the listing states "Specification Met: OEM." One cached spec field mislabels the position as Rear, but the OEM cross-reference and independent retailers confirm a front application. Stainless hardware and abutment clips are included; no wear sensor ships. No SAE J866 edge code is published. Owners of the ProACT line generally report confident daily cold bite and clean wheels, with no instrumented test for this part.
Right pick for a confirmed 2012-2014 F-150 owner wanting an OE-supplier ceramic pad for daily driving and clean wheels. Skip if your truck tows heavy, falls outside 2012-2014, or you need a published edge code.
No chemical exposure pathway: an inert friction part with no SDS. Brake service stirs up dust: wear a mask, never use compressed air. Prop 65 attaches to friction-material constituents, a category-default deduction only. Stainless hardware and the backing plate recycle as scrap when separated.
They are a ceramic FRONT disc brake pad set from Akebono's ProACT ultra-premium line, independently confirmed for select 2012-2014 Ford F-150 applications. RockAuto's own catalog cross-references this exact part to a broad chain of genuine Ford OEM front-pad numbers. Always confirm the part number against your specific vehicle's brake-package spec before installing.
Yes, front. One structured spec field on the Amazon listing mislabels the position as 'Rear,' but the part's own OEM cross-reference chain and multiple independent retailers all confirm a front application. Treat that single field as a listing error, not a fitment fact.
The Prop 65 label attaches to the friction-material constituents in the pad rather than to a hazard named on a safety data sheet. The pad ships as a sold, intact part, and the warning carries the category-default flat non-chemical health deduction rather than a chemistry-driven one.
Yes. RockAuto's own catalog description for this exact part reads 'Proact Ceramic Pad w/ Stainless Hardware,' and its spec table confirms abutment clips are included. No electronic pad-wear sensor is included.
Yes, ceramic compounds shed lighter-colored, less-adherent dust than semi-metallic compounds, a documented property of the material class. A brake job still stirs up accumulated dust, so wear a dust mask appropriate to the work and never blow it out with compressed air.

Per manufacturer cross-reference, not a physical test fit. A single generation often forks by engine, trim, and market.
