My right front wheel area was smoking a lot and the rim was extremely hot after driving a little bit today. I got brake work done a few months ago, but haven’t had this problem until now.

Front wheel smoking and very hot

Don’t drive the vehicle. The brake is overheating and you could lose braking completely. It’s impossible to determine the exact reason from here.

Have the vehicle towed or carried on a flatbed to a mechanic.
