Those 2 piston calipers, not 4, so it has slide pins. Typically, the slides cause the caliper to seize, not the pistons, and the sliders never touch brake fluid unless there is another failure.
Maybe but that’s a kinda stretch of possibility. Stuff wears out planned obsolescence. You are going to get some benefit from changing your brake fluid every couple of years less water and less corrosion.
So you are saying that the caliper piston was seized? Not one of the caliper pins, but the pistons themselves? If so, how did the fluid that came out of the seized caliper look, was it all jet black? I see that as a VERY important question, because 2018, and 69k is NOT the old, where the fluid still could be some level of clear-ish (not jet black). So what did the fluid that came out of the seized caliper look like?
Majority of calipers i have replaced have been on dodge/chrysler products i honesty don't think i would of helped in this case. That being said having good brake fluid is important and should be flushed every 60k minimum.
Debatable. Some cars never get a brake flush and they last way longer before a caliper will seize. This is also a heavy vehicle that has a higher likelihood of being driven hard
I 100 percent agree. I feel like getting brakes hot frequently is much worse than not doing a brake fluid flush. I am not proud to admit this but We’ve owned multiple cars where we never did the fluid and never had a single issue with calipers.👍🏻

Na... Just Junk
no, Chrysler just makes crap
No difference. That stuff is absolute trash. When will people learn? From new, you got 5-6 years tops.
Possible.
But, Lubrication of the Caliper Pins Regularly would of definitely helped.
@@glenherbert7606 pistons were stuck

Are you doing. brakes rotors and calibers. no brake hoses should replace both brake hoses
Not on this style brake hose
You do rubber lines at the same time. I do with Stelantis.
