    Is your front brake fluid reservoir overfilled? If it is, that fluid can expand when warm... and it will have nowhere to go except to the pistons; thus making your brakes drag.

    The fluid level is definitely worth checking, and it could have been overfilled when all the fluid was changed during the brake recall. It wouldn't be the first time a dealer caused a problem while performing the recall.
