    Hello All,

    Just want to post a situation to hopefully help someone else.

    I noticed a scrapping noise when turning a hard left. Thought it was the weather shield for the front brake rotors but it was not.

    Eventually took the brakes apart only to find the front passenger side caliper piston stuck. Heard calipers are a common item on the 5th gen.

    Replaced and noise gone.

    HTH

    Thanks,

    Maybe just depends on the weather where it's lived more than anything.
