On certain vehicles, the brake caliper mounting bolts may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. Loose bolts may allow a caliper to detach from its mount, which could result in partial loss of brake function. This could increase stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will tighten the brake caliper mounting bolts to the specified torque.
