It should be covered by warranty. It has been a problem. I know of five including one of Hillbanks cars. As Got The Bug has indicated, Superformance issued a technical service bulletin about the issue.
Lance may help you right from the get go, but do not be surprised if he tells you to call the company you purchased it from first and work through the proper channels.
It happened to me as well, passenger side front. When the caliper came loose it dug a 1/4" channel on the inside of the rim. My dealer replaced the rim and payed for the tire being removed from the damaged rim and the installation on the new rim as well as balancing. I told my dealer that I would handle the reinstallation of the caliper my self --No charge at my shop. I did the reinstallation of the caliper myself with the proper grade bolt, and THREAD LOCKER that the factory seemed to have missed.
If you put your car in the air and get under it, don't assume that just because the bolts and fasteners have witness paint lines on or across them that they are properly installed or torqued. Check them out your self or have your mechanic do it.
The caliper bolts on my sons MKIII which was purchased about three months after mine were installed properly.
