Have you flushed brake fluid like they told you to do on the recall? I had my recall done in 9-09 and have not had any problems since. The moisture buildup in the fluid will cause corrosion in the metal parts of the brakes. I have flushed my fluid 2 times since the recall. 3 weeks ago they said the fluid looked very clear yet but did use 1.5 L to flush the entire system. The previous one I did with my son on the driveway.
I'm not clear on exactly what metal parts suffer corrosion due to water in the brake fluid? It will certainly reduce braking, but what parts does it come in contact with that would corrode?
