Brake Calipers (1 Viewer)

Anybody else’s front brake calipers look as bad as mine? 3800mi in and they look 100yrs old. I do live in a tropical climate but this seems odd. Like the finish is wearing off. I had the brake recall done but pretty certain calipers weren’t part of that

Looks like it could just be brake dust buildup. Would be highly contrast with the silver calipers.

Have you tried an iron remover or brake dust cleaner and a medium bristle brush yet?
Hope you get a solution!

I use IronX every wash although never actually scrubbed the caliper. I’ll try that, thanks!

I was also going to suggest ironX. Let me know how it goes for ya!

Do you garage your GX? I live on the coast and the salt air can do that. It happened to my Tacoma because it stayed out. I keep the GX in the garage and my Calipers look fine.

Garaged overnight but sits outside in the hot/humid tropical air for 11hrs a day :/

That could do it. I lived in Houston. Lots of humidity.

I get that but its almost like they’re unfinished. My painted Brembos looked brand new when I sold my last car. Drove that for 4+ yrs

I would ask your service manager about it when you take it in for it's first service. Could be a problem with the paint. Either way it's still a beautiful truck and it looks like you take meticulous care.

Bump. Anybody else having this issue? Local dealer going to take a look next week but would like to see if its more common or a one-off

Sounds like the local dealer is already lining up to say 'No trouble found or could not duplicate fault"

Forgot to close this thread out. Dealer replaced all 4 calipers under a ‘one time goodwill gesture’. Super stoked
