If there's a burning smell from the brakes, it indicates a significant issue, and it is advised not to continue driving. Below are the reasons for a burning smell from the brakes: Brake Caliper Seizure: The function of the brake caliper is to push the brake caliper to clamp the brake disc, thereby generating substantial friction to slow down the vehicle. When the brake pedal is released, the brake caliper retracts, disengaging the brake. If the brake caliper seizes, it will cause the brake to remain engaged continuously, accumulating a large amount of heat, which poses a significant safety hazard. Foreign Object Jamming in the Brake System: If there is a foreign object stuck between the brake pad and the brake disc, continuous friction will generate heat, producing a burnt smell and causing abnormal braking performance. It is necessary to check for any foreign objects between them.
