Caliper bracket bolts class action
Hi, I had a major issue with my 2022 BRZ where the caliper bracket bolts broke and the whole caliper came off while driving!! I haven't modified the car at all.
Subaru Service denied my warranty and wanted to charge me nearly $3,000 to fix it. Mavis did it for $130 including parts..... If anyone had any issue similar to this or with similar bolts please respond or DM me as I'm starting a class action lawsuit because this isn't safe or right. Subaru has a serious problem with how they make bolts, as all of them seem to be extremely junky (including the studs). |

Do you have evidence that this is a common problem with caliper bolts? I know people have issues with the studs breaking when tracking where they swap rims frequently but this is sort of common on all cars that are tracked frequently on OEM studs.
Hard to do a class action when no one else has had a caliper bracket bolt failure. Also, this could have been caused by someone (you?) over torquing the bolts. |

You have an unhealthy obsession with bolts loosening themselves on your car, Certainly this has nothing to do with you probably inspecting your hardware to see if your hardware matched the discussed hardware from your other forum post, right?

As I said in your other thread, people mess up 1.25 thread studs all the time, For all the other bolts on subaru cars in general? They're fine, and not made by subaru anyway.
Though I still hate the valve cover bolts with a fat shank on the EJ when the car has seen a decade of road salt. Corrosion just seizes them to the valve cover and there's very little you can do about it with a 10mm socket in a narrow crevice. |

It very much has to do, its the same issue. This is essentially a repost. My caliper came off and that's very dangerous. I never took the car to anywhere other than subaru service |

Good luck with your class action suit. Maybe you should just sue yourself. Afterall, with $130 in damages it would be way worth it. Let's not forget emotional trauma.
Class action also makes sense, after all, there are ones of people who have had this problem. |

Same issue does not equal the same problem. If what you are telling us of no mods and only been to Subaru, getting warranty on that would have been simple. There has to be more to the story? My guess is you have been an ass to the dealer/service center so they are not going to go out of their way to help you.

So what did the shop fix? You didn't get an itemized list? 130 is pretty close to hourly rate for most dealerships and close to hourly for independent shops. How fast were you going when it fell off? Which caliper bolts, slider pin or bracket to hub?
