Rear brake failure due to corrosion of brake line near right rear wheel. The recall to stop corrosion had been done. This point of corrosion is well know. The plastic envelope over the pipe is absent at the attachment clamp.

Replaced front calipers due to wear of the rubber bellows. Pads wore to the point that the rotor wore through the bellows. No indication of wear was heard, Aren't the pads/shims etc supposed to screech just before it is too late? There is a finger as part of the pad installation. Isn't it supposed to scratch the rotor as a wear out warning ?

After several years of annual brake maintence in order to avoid siezed pistons and pins I experienced a dragging brake on the front right whilst on a trip away from home. Did not like that. Upon inspection I found a seized piston there and on further inspection both the rear calipers were found to have seized slider pins. I replace all three calipers myself.

The rear backing plates were falling apart and the drum brake were extremely rusted. To change the backing plate required removing and replacing the wheel bearings. It was an expensive job and removing bearings can be very difficult. Many rusted nuts and bolts can be encountered.
