It was user error from day one!... You know the 98 escort wagon. I have uses the same style retaining pins on the front calipers only a lot small in scale!! Got 350k on that old Ford never lost a pin! And no aftermarket brakes come with a warranty it's up to user to install correctly goes double if the aftermarket company does not approve of the brakes used in the application the term not safe...yesh sad but true just happen to a guy with wilwood brakes he did a video explaining it all.
The remanufactured OEM Mercedes-Benz breaks. Unfortunately, the biggest issue with them is those pins get seized into the brake rotors. So unfortunately, every tutorial online how to get them out, shows people beating them out with chisels, or punches. You can see in one of my little short videos, how deformed the bore is for the pin, and Mercedes definitely would not allow that from the factory

You might find the Dorman kit hw14023 comes with drilled pins that will fit and save you a bunch of time and trouble.
I'll have to look. it would be nice to have a full spare set
What happen to the v10 truck project?
Ah, ha that's the reason this happened to you , so you could make improvements and save many lives.
Central California watching.
I can’t believe they can sell breaks with no regard to quality control. Somebody could really get hurt.

I've never had this problem with OEM brakes.

Bingo!
@@LunarOutlawsGarageever heard of ceramic brake grease on the pins that's why they seize lack of proper maintenance.
