Right rear brake still overheating after complete fix with new caliper and brake line
2012 grand Cherokee unlimited, no “expert” can find the reason this driver side rear wheel is overheating. Everything new, and mechanics say all fixed, still overheats!
Experts are not experts.
Where else do we look for solution?

Possibly the flexible hose to the caliper has internal damage - what happens is that the internal rubber can form a one-way valve and retain fluid pressure in the brake line, keeping the caliper pistons in the 'ON' position and the pads in contact with the brake disc.
This does sometimes happen and is often overlooked as a cause.

The flexible hose was completely replaced.

Like it or not it's the parking brake and or cable has rusted frozen. Check cable for operation very carefully specifically does it allow the shoe or pad to return to resting position after applied and released.

Could this be a recall issue?? In reading online, this is a frequent issue,,, no real solution.

When you jack up the wheel, can you rotate it or is it locked? With a rear brake dragging, it is most likely the parking brake cable rusted. Might be adjustment also. Unless the pads have worn a notch in the spindles, ..that does happen too ..weld them up and grind them down. Otherwise I suggest finding a real mechanic. Brakes are not rocket science, more of an athletic event.
