FASTENER TORQUE VALUE
Brake disc, rear, screws 30-45 ft-lbs 41-61 Nm

That is for a 2014, but who's counting.

You might want to double check your caliper mounting screw numbers - think those should be foot-pounds not inch-pounds. Somebody please confirm, don't have manual in front of me.

Yeah, when you see that the Brake Caliper Pad Pin is listed at a higher Torque than the Brake Caliper Mounting Screws, you got to think ... "Something might be wrong here"
