Just happened to my 2013 Touring, with 30,000km up. Riding in Scotland, single track road, low speeds, no cornering scrapes. Noticed the bike struggling, came to a stop with rear brake dragging. Brief smoke cloud and accompanying smell of hot brake pads. Gave the rear brake pedal a jab and it released. Inspection showed nothing unusual. No road contact, no misaligned parts. Has worked normally today, as if nothing happened. Operation of the brake seems smooth and easy, with no sticking etc.
