- An insufficiently screwed-on brake caliper bracket can lead to brake failure. The brake caliper may become detached from the axle due to insufficient tightening torque of the rear brake caliper mounting screws. This could lead to damage to or breakage of the brake hose, resulting in a sudden leak of brake fluid and reduced braking performance. The low brake fluid level warning indicator lights up, accompanied by a corresponding indication in the instrument cluster. This may lead to accidents.
