While approaching a stop sign consumer applied the brakes and passenger side wheel locked up. Consumer was unable to unlock the wheel. Consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the main bolt sheared off. This caused the caliper to lock the wheel. Also, mechanic informed the consumer that the part was on back order.
