Defect
On certain vehicles, the rear brake caliper bolts may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. Loose bolts could allow a caliper to detach from its mount, potentially contacting the rotating road wheel. This could result in partial loss of brake function, which could increase stopping distance. This could also cause a sudden loss of tire air pressure, which could cause the driver to lose vehicle control. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Safety Risk

Remedy
