This is exactly why I run slotted discs. * Flame-suit on*
Looks like grit embedding in the pads according to the video/pictures posted, but could be poor disc metallurgy or pad composition. IMHO it shouldn't have happened and something's not right there. The track increase took the brakes with it so they were just as shrouded by the wheel and dust shields. Should be reasonably comparable despite the changes made.
Question is, did he merely complain to the dealer, or did he escalate it to Head Office? If Toyota Australia themselves knocked it back, I'd have some issues. However he references "the dealership" repeatedly so I suspect he may not, in which case he's whipping a franchise lackey not the master. And ranting on social media rather than escalating it using the appropriate process is not the best way to tackle this if that is the case.
