Compatible with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, Freightliner Sprinter 3500, Dodge Sprinter 3500, and Workhorse W42 applications, this caliper is specified for fitment-based replacement work where the correct mounting bracket and bleeder screw are part of the assembly.

Key Features

• Coated caliper construction helps resist corrosion in brake service environments.
• 100% newly manufactured components support consistent braking performance.
• Two-piston design for hydraulic actuation.
• Mounting bracket included for the listed applications.
• Bleeder screw included for service and bleeding procedures.
• Brake pads are not included.

Detailed Description

CN12868SC is a Wagner Brake disc brake caliper engineered for front left and front right fitments across select Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, Freightliner Sprinter 3500, Dodge Sprinter 3500, and Workhorse W42 vehicles. The caliper is built with newly manufactured components rather than remanufactured parts, and the coated housing adds protection against corrosion while maintaining like-new braking performance. The included mounting bracket and bleeder screw match the listed applications, making this part suitable for brake system service where the original caliper assembly has worn, seized, or lost hydraulic integrity. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 18-5088 and Raybestos Brakes FRC12868N for the same application.

Common Replacement Issues

• Sticking or seized caliper pistons.
• Uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper drag.
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area.
• Corrosion on the caliper housing or hardware surfaces.
• Reduced braking response from a worn hydraulic caliper assembly.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and caliper position before installation. This caliper is listed with a mounting bracket and bleeder screw, and the fitment notes should be matched to the existing brake setup before service. Always bleed the brake system after installation and inspect pads, rotors, and brake fluid condition at the same time.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake designs this caliper with newly manufactured components and a coated finish to support reliable braking performance and corrosion resistance. Part number CN12868SC is built for the listed applications and is supported by fitment-specific interchange references.
