Parking Brake Caliper - Left Hand (Without Pads) for Tesla | 1021333-00-D
The Critical Component for Secure Parking & Emergency Stops
Why This Caliper Matters for Your Tesla
Your Tesla’s parking brake isn’t just for keeping it stationary—it’s a safety backup for unexpected situations. The 1021333-00-D left-hand parking brake caliper is the dedicated mechanism that locks your rear-left wheel, ensuring your vehicle stays put on hills, driveways, or when parked. For Tesla models relying on this part, a faulty parking brake caliper can mean dangerous rolling (even on slight inclines) or failure to engage during emergencies.
This caliper replaces worn or stuck units, restoring the precise, reliable parking brake performance you need—whether you’re parking overnight or using it as an emergency brake in critical situations.
What It Actually Does (No Tech Jargon)
Locks Wheels Securely: When you engage the parking brake (via touchscreen or console), this caliper clamps onto the rear-left rotor (using its internal mechanism), preventing the wheel from turning. No more worrying about your Tesla rolling away on hills.
Works with Your Tesla’s System: Syncs with your vehicle’s electronic controls to engage/disengage smoothly. Unlike manual parking brakes, it responds instantly to your commands, with no lag or sticking.
Emergency Backup: Acts as a failsafe if your main brakes need extra support. In sudden stops, it adds stopping force to the rear-left wheel, helping stabilize the vehicle.
Weather-Resistant Design: Sealed internals and corrosion-resistant coating protect against rain, road salt, and debris—so it won’t seize up in cold or wet climates.
Signs Yours Needs Replacement
Don’t ignore these red flags—they mean your parking brake is at risk:
Parking Brake Warning Light: A persistent alert on your dashboard (often “Parking Brake Malfunction”) indicates the caliper isn’t engaging properly.
Vehicle Rolls When Parked: Even on slight inclines, your Tesla moves when the parking brake is engaged (the caliper isn’t clamping tight enough).
Stiff or Unresponsive Controls: The parking brake takes longer to engage/disengage, or you hear grinding when it activates (worn internal components).
Uneven Rear Brake Wear: The left-rear rotor shows excessive wear or scoring (a sign the caliper is sticking and dragging).
