Default 2001 Accord - left rear caliper sticking

I have a 2001 Accord LX-V6 with 78k miles on it. This past week I
noticed hot brake smell after my 10 mile drive to work and I noticed
that the left rear lug nuts were considerably hotter than the ones on
the right side. A trip to the dealer revealed that the left rear
caliper had a sticky pin that was not allowing the caliper to release,
so the pads were dragging on the rotor.

Is this a common problem with this car?

I've had all brake work done at this same dealer, which includes one
prior change on the rears at about 42k miles . . .
