What's wrong?
The rear electric park brake caliper on the 2023 Lordstown Endurance is the parking brake clamp at the rear wheels. When the truck is parked, the caliper holds the brake in place so the wheels stay clamped. Inside that caliper, the thrust washer supports the moving parts that apply and hold that force.
On affected Endurance trucks, the caliper washers were supplied without proper heat treatment. That makes the washer wear sooner than designed. As the washer wears, the electric park brake loses clamping force, so the brake no longer holds as firmly when it is set.
There is no warning sign before failure. The owner will not have a clear early symptom to watch for, so the VIN match and dealer inspection decide whether this defect applies to the truck.
