Not sure if the info is out, or my Dealership is miss informed.

I brought in my 2000 Tundra with just over 34,000 miles on it because the brakes would vibrate when coming to a stop at highway speeds.

I mentioned to the service personnel that I knew there was a Toyota Service Bulletin (TSB) on Tundra brakes and wanted to know if the problem I was having was related to the TSB.
At first the dealership stated that Toyota would not replace my brakes because I had oversized tires and aftermarket rims. I told him that I was having this problem before I ever installed the tires. (Not like I couldn't just put on the original tires and rims and go to another dealership anyway.)
Well, my tires are 265/75/16's which as we all know is only a little bit larger than the stock 265/70/16's. As far as the aftermarket rims, I said they are aluminum, and the stock rims are aluminum, what gives? The service personnel stated that he was sorry, but Toyota would not warranty my brakes. I said, "that’s fine, I'm not asking you to warranty my brakes, only to look at them". I then said, "If it’s because of the "BAD" brake problems (TSB), please let me know so that I could resolve the issue with the Toyota rep". I left my Tundra there, and about an hour later I get a call back from the service personnel. He states that there is a NEW TSB on the Tundra brakes and that since this TSB is so new, parts are not readily available. I said no problem, go ahead and order them and let me know how much everything will cost. He says, "No, it's under warranty and that Toyota is picking up the tab, plus they are supplying you with a rental for two days while we get those brakes fixed". I was totally SHOCKED! Out of the 16 years I have been taking my vehicle to Toyota for repairs, this was by far the happiest ending.

Anyway, not sure if it's new NEWS, but thought I would share with everyone.
