Back during Easter I changed my front pads. I torqued the bolts that hold the calipers to the rotors.
2 weeks ago I heard a clicking sound from the left front at low speed when the wheel was turned hard right, inspection revealed nothing.
This week at low speed I hear the unmistakable sound of a bolt falling out. I put on the brakes to a grinding sound.
The left front caliper is grinding the rotor hat because the upper bolt fell out.
I have it towed, the service manual I am told does not mention locktite but the factory replacement bolts came with locktite. Fortunately only cosmetic damage to the rotor hat. :)
