Keep your front brakes clamping the way the factory intended with a new OE caliper for the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata and 2011-2015 Kia Optima: the Mando 16A5135 front left brake caliper. It is a direct replacement for the front left position on the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata and the 2011-2015 Kia Optima. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Calipers fail less often than brake pads need replacing, but normal or heavy use wears them over time and can eventually lead to failure. Signs this disc brake caliper may need replacing include brake fluid leaking at the caliper or pads that stay locked against the rotor. Both are serious safety concerns, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Choosing a MANDO brake caliper means installing the OE unit rather than a generic substitute. After installation, bleed the brake system and follow the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this the right 2011 Hyundai Sonata brake caliper for the front left?
It is listed for the front left position on 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata models. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your vehicle.
Does it also work as a 2011-2015 Kia Optima brake caliper?
Yes. It is listed for the front left position on 2011-2015 Kia Optima models, as well as on the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata.
Is this an OE caliper?
Yes. Mando describes it as a brand-new OE caliper, the same unit as the original found on your vehicle, with a factory coating as specified by Hyundai and Kia.
What are signs a caliper may need replacing?
Brake fluid leaking at the caliper, or pads that stay locked against the rotor, may mean it needs replacing. Diagnose the cause first, because other brake components can produce similar symptoms.
What should I do after installing it?
Bleed the brake system and check the pedal feel as directed by the vehicle service information. Consider replacing the front right caliper at the same time for balanced braking.
