A Toyota dealer's unexpected explanation about "plant-based brake pads" has sparked curiosity among Tundra truck owners.
A Facebook post initiated a conversation about what happens when environmental policy meets mechanical reliability, after a user shared their experience with a dealer.
Anyone else having to replace brake pads after 1 year? I am not pulling much with my Toyota Tundra, mostly in city driving and not driving hard either. The dealer said they were using plant-based brake pads due to government regulations.
Owners are left wondering if dealers are switching to eco-friendly brake pads or using cheaper alternatives.
