Toyota Prius Plug In Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Toyota Prius Plug In is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Prius Plug In disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Toyota Prius Plug In, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the Prius Plug In interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Toyota Prius Plug In

• Toyota Prius Plug In pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Prius Plug In feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Toyota Prius Plug In axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Toyota Prius Plug In, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Prius Plug In caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Toyota Prius Plug In wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Toyota Prius Plug In

Frequently Asked Questions - Toyota Prius Plug In Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Toyota Prius Plug In in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Toyota Prius Plug In, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Prius Plug In caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.

How long do disc brake calipers last on a Toyota Prius Plug In in US?

Toyota Prius Plug In calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Prius Plug In caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Toyota Prius Plug In well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Toyota Prius Plug In damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Prius Plug In caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Toyota Prius Plug In. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Prius Plug In and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
