That is unusual but it should be covered by your warranty.

Nah...SOA won't cover frictional brake parts. Modern rear brake rotors DO wear quickly, but usually last 3 winters here in the Northeast. Needing CALIPERS is unheard of, so you're probably being scammed, as even in salty climes the calipers last 10-5 years. Ern TSG/B

Error. SOA may cover a defective CALIPER, but they won't believe you need them...especially two!
