I have never had a caliper fail that way. Not to say that it does not happen. I have just never experienced it. Then again this is only the second truck that I have had rear disc brakes on.
I know that they do rust just not in the frame of time that I gave in a sufficient amount to cause it to fail. I never said that it did not or would not happen just hard to believe after 2.5 years on the road.
I think the more probable idea is a failure of the seals that are supposed to protect the piston and slide pins. Of course some testing would be required to prove that..... as for now nothing but speculation based on my own experience, intelligence, and common sense.
