Does the car need repair if smoke appears from not releasing the handbrake?

[OLeilani]

If smoke appears from not releasing the handbrake, replacement is required as this situation can cause damage to the brake pads. Precautions: The main issue is significant wear on the brake pads and wheel hubs. When the handbrake is relatively tight, a burning smell may be noticeable. Brakes are prone to failure under high temperatures, so please drive carefully or directly visit an after-sales service to check the extent of damage to the brake pads. For safety, timely replacement is necessary. Effects of driving without releasing the handbrake: Driving with the handbrake engaged directly accelerates wear on the brake discs and causes the brake pads to harden due to overheating. The handbrake cable may also stretch, leading to decreased braking performance. The burning smell sometimes noticed inside the car is produced this way. In severe cases, smoke may even appear from the rear of the car. Risk of brake caliper seizure: If driving with the handbrake engaged for an extended period, it may also cause the brake caliper to seize, brake fluid to leak, or the brake fluid temperature to rise excessively, resulting in a complete loss of braking function. This is extremely dangerous.
