My 2018 Tundra 1794 just passed the 29,000-mile mark and the maintenance light came one. This is not the same as the “Service needed light”. I was still over 1,000 miles before my next oil service was due.
My vehicle does not fall into the Special Operating Conditions listed in the owners manual.
I took my truck to the dealer where I purchased it from and the advisor recommended I have the “Induction maintenance” performed as well as a “Brake System Fluid Flush” See attached receipt.
I cannot find those services listed in my maintenance supplement at all.
My real question centers around whether they even did the work they charged me for. I’ve attached a photo of the left rear brake bleeder valve.
In the old days when we would flush brake lines, we had to loosen the bleeder valve to purge the lines go through the whole process and there was always some sort of residual fluid on the surface. In this case, it doesn’t even look like the rubber boot was removed. It looks like the system has never been touched.
Is there a way to “Flush the Brake system” without having to bleed each brake line?
Was this work really needed and if so, is there a way to verify it?
Thank you
