Federal-Mogul Launches National TV Ad for Wagner Brand ThermoQuiet Brake Pads

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--May 2, 2005--A new national television advertising campaign featuring the Wagner(R) ThermoQuiet(R) brake pad is expected to strengthen product familiarity among millions of drivers across the U.S. and Canada, just in time for spring maintenance. Wagner products are manufactured and marketed by Federal-Mogul Corporation (OTCBB:FDMLQ), the world's leading supplier of brake pads.

The consumer-oriented commercial focuses on a common concern among vehicle owners: annoying brake squeal, which often indicates a potential safety problem. Viewers quickly get the message that the breakthrough technology of Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads provides strong stopping power and virtually eliminates brake noise. More than 50 million television impressions will be generated across North America.

Federal-Mogul introduced Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads as the first replacement pads to deliver superior stopping power and quiet performance. Winner of an Automotive News PACE Award for product innovation, ThermoQuiet brake pads have helped thousands of vehicle service shops strengthen existing customer relationships while building new ones.

The key to the ThermoQuiet advantage is Federal-Mogul's exclusive IMI(TM) Sound Insulator(TM) technology, which eliminates the conventional brake shim by integrating the friction material, backing plate and insulator into a high-strength one-piece component. This one-piece design spreads heat, sound and vibration over a much larger surface area to assure quiet, effective stopping power.

"The record-setting sales growth of ThermoQuiet, combined with its incredible popularity among automotive professionals and their customers, make this an ideal way to build on Wagner's brand leadership," said Jay Burkhart, vice president, global marketing, aftermarket products and services for Federal-Mogul. "Above all, this campaign makes sense because ThermoQuiet pads deliver exclusive benefits that appeal to today's vehicle owners."
