BRAKE LINE RECALL FAILURE

[MJB4450]

Things like this is why I laugh out loud whenever I question a dealerships quality before I become a customer and the service department proudly states we have ASE certified techs (monkeys).

It's possible the OP won the bad part lottery.
I'm not putting any money on that though.

It's definitely possible. I get bad parts out of the box multiple times a week. This should absolutely have been caught before leaving the shop. Any time I do brake work, the vehicle gets a good test drive and re-check before it leaves the shop.

I wonder why a lot of us don't trust dealer service? Maybe because for everything they fix they break something else. Get that truck towed to the dealer asap.

Imagine taking your vehicle for a safety recall and the vehicle being less safe then before the recall was performed...

But they did recall the safety.

UPDATE: checked under truck, sure enough rear passenger side brake line leak. Oil is everywhere. Even in the wheel well, brake fluid is even lower under hood.

What a bummer. That doesn't look like brake fluid on your fingers.

Mistakes can happen anywhere, but in my market area we've taken our Toyotas to the dealer that gets the "president's award" even though they're never a bargain for sales or service. They did more than I expected for this recall and the blind spot reprogramming.

How they approached it is likely just good business for them and consumers. My $0.0 receipt for the warranty work includes .25 and .8 hour line items charged to Toyota warranty for inspection and straightening the bed on frame.

Best wishes in getting it all resolved.
