Brake caliper bolts may break under load
Crash riskThe bolts that hold the front and/or rear brake calipers in place may not have been heat treated, so they can break under load. If a bolt breaks, braking can weaken or the wheel can rub, which raises the risk of a crash.
Fix: A dealer will replace the brake caliper bolts at no cost to you.
