Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A bolt securing the rear left brake caliper bracket assembly failed catastrophically jammming the brake and the rear wheel while in motion. fortunately this occurred at low speed and was controllable, but if it had occurred at speed on the highway, there would have been a major accident since the rear wheel could have suddenly seized with resultant loss of control of the vehicle (2002 4wd suburban z71). *ak
