Caliper mounting bolt gone left rear rotor



Check it out. Caliper is half-rotated off of rear rotor. I just bought a 2005 Passat 1.8T Wagon, 61,000 miles. This morning, on the way home from the store, I braked at a stop sign, and.... screeeeeeee. Huh? Stop. Move again. Screeeeeeee.

I get out and check- the driver's side rear brake caliper has broken loose and is rotated 1/2 way off of the rotor. Anyone ever see anything like this? Bizarre. Thank god I'm within the 1000 miles of initial warranty, and I'll be jumping on that extended warranty like a pig on grits.
