Narrative:

After a phenom was grounded for maintenance in airport ZZZ for a jerk to the left when stopping; the tires were changed and a brake assembly was repaired. As soon as it flew to airport ZZZ1; the right brake assembly caught fire. I have no clue what type of maintenance is performed on airplanes that results in brakes catching fire!!! No words. Off duty pilot. Airline transport pilot.
