Truer than many think. Carbon black is used as a filler in the pads, based on its heat conduction, and propensity to reduce squeal. Because of the restrictive TUV specs (which make pad composition changes costly for manufacturers and thus less likely), this means that practically all German vehicles have the same problem.
