What are the symptoms of a seized brake caliper?

[AlyssaDella]

The symptoms of a seized brake caliper may include overheating of the brake disc, caliper damage, and inability to press the brake pedal. Causes of brake disc overheating: In severe cases, it can lead to tire explosion, making driving unsafe. Caliper damage: Caliper damage is somewhat related to not replacing the brake disc and brake pads in time. When the brake disc and brake pads are worn to their limits, continued use may lead to caliper damage. The brake caliper can only be replaced as a whole unit and cannot be repaired. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check the wear condition of the brake pads and brake disc. Inability to press the brake pedal: This is related to the brake fluid. Not replacing the brake fluid for a long time can cause the brake caliper to seize. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the brake fluid regularly, generally every three years or 60,000 kilometers.
