Hello, first time poster here. So for a number of weeks when driving my 2016 2.5L CX-5 Sport in reverse there was a bit of a high pitch squeal. It would go away when the car was in drive though. Yesterday, on start up my EPB was flashing yellow, and I had a solid yellow icon on the dashboard. I drove about 20 feet before I realized something was sticking so I got AAA to take it to the dealership. The technician said my brake caliper was seized and I need a new one. Is there anything else I should get replaced besides the caliper that could prevent a future one from seizing up? The brake line was ok and the EPB was working on the other rear brake.

I would ask about having the other calliper serviced at the same time. May save a replacement at a later time.

Mine had a propensity to 'seize' instead of releasing the EPB, which I have so far cured by lubricating the quide pins.
