Happened on mine, actually stuck pretty good while I was driving. Just don't get them from the dealer unless you want to be bent over on the price.

yeah...my passenger side caliper is leaking brake fluid now and one of the pistons is locked up...i put the old rotor and brake pads back on that side for the drive to the brake place. I don't have time to mess with installing calipers and bleeding the brakes. I think i'm gonna suck it up and have both of them replaced.
