2 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Noticed vehicle making a squealing sound vibrating when brakes applied. Had brakes changed and the caliper also had to be replaced to to piston being dislodged from the ring. Rotors were grooved out also on the outer edge. I never received information about the inspection on this vehicle for this problem. Is there a continuance of this investigation?.
