Brakes Squeal

I don't know. I brought the vehicle to a different dealer and told them I had an open ticket with Toyota on the issue. They let it sit out in the rain for a few hours, tested it, and then said they would order new front pads and rotors. It took a week to get the parts, so I wonder if they also installed the shim kit that has been reported as part of the fix for this issue.
To clarify, my squeal was in reverse only, and did not resolve completely even after the first drive of the day. I never had a squeal driving forward.
New Land Cruiser here. Brakes squeal every morning while backing up. Less than 500 miles.
Called the dealer today since it wasn't resolving. Called around 4:00. The service advisor I spoke to said he had 3 other calls just today about this issue. He asked that I bring it in for them to take some measurements and log the complaint. He said they were hopeful if there were enough complaints that Toyota would develop a fix.

Welcome to the Jungle!
Thanks! Glad to be here...regardless of the problem.
I wonder how some of us got repairs. Why does Toyota approve some and not others? I'm also surprised that some LCs built this year have the problem.
I have had a case/complaint open since last year, so that may be one factor in Toyota approving the new brakes. Obviously the dealers will replace anything Toyota will pay for.
