TL;DR G3000-qualified cast iron with a Grey Fusion 4.0 coating, cross-referenced to the 2017-2022 Honda CR-V's front brake package. Rated for daily driving, published 0.002 in runout tolerance, mixed owner reports on rust resistance.
The 982124FZN is a vented Element3-line front rotor, cast from G3000-qualified iron matched to the CR-V's one front brake package. Grey Fusion 4.0 with RPT rust-prevention technology coats the whole rotor, vanes included; owner reports on rust resistance are mixed, not uniformly positive. Raybestos publishes a 0.002 in runout tolerance; factory balancing isn't disclosed. Fitment is cross-referenced to the CR-V's Honda front brake disc numbers, verified to CCT's standard.
Right pick for a 2017-2022 CR-V owner wanting a rotor cross-referenced to the genuine Honda part numbers, with a disclosed iron grade and a full-surface anti-rust coating. Skip if you need a confirmed OE-supplier casting or a clean rust-resistance record.
No chemical exposure pathway, an inert cast-iron part with no SDS. Brake service stirs up accumulated dust: wear a dust mask, never blow it out with compressed air, that belongs to the brake system, not this rotor. Recyclable as ferrous scrap through most parts stores; the coating extends service life by resisting rust-through.
It is the front rotor for the 2017-2022 Honda CR-V (5th generation), cross-referenced to Honda's own front brake disc part numbers 45251-TLA-A00 and 45251-TNY-A00, both superseded by the current 45251-TVC-A00. The manufacturer's own cross-reference also lists other Honda and Acura platforms, but those have not been independently CCT-verified and are not asserted here.
Raybestos discloses G3000-qualified cast iron for the Element3 line, a line-level metallurgy disclosure rather than a part-number-specific carbon-content spec for this exact SKU.
No. Raybestos is not Honda's OE rotor supplier; independent sources point to Akebono, Nissin, and Brembo as Honda's OE brake hardware suppliers. This part is an aftermarket cross-reference matched to Honda's OE part numbers, not a confirmed OE-identical casting.
Yes. Raybestos discloses a Grey Fusion 4.0 coating with RPT rust-prevention technology across the full rotor surface, including the cooling vanes. Independent forum owner reports on long-term rust resistance are mixed: some owners are very satisfied, others report more surface rust than expected after about a year.
Raybestos publishes a lateral runout tolerance of 0.002 in (0.05mm) or less with thickness variation under 0.0004 in for the Element3 line. A forum owner report on a different vehicle describes pulsation resolved after installing the same RPT-coated line, though the sample is small and not CR-V-specific.
The Amazon listing for Raybestos 982124FZN Element3 Front Brake Rotor carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, Raybestos 982124FZN Element3 Front Brake Rotor has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.

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