2022 Niro EV EX Premium Rear Brakes

Hello,

Just over 5000mi and the rear drums are corroded to the point that they will not pass inspection. Rear breaks are rarely used, so maybe that is why?

Question is: Shouldn't the brakes be covered under warranty for a few years after purchase. Service department doesn't know the answer. And the one person with that knowledge at the dealership is incommunicado.

Thanks,
Bill

I'm under the impression that the friction brakes always engage when in reverse. Is that correct? When I back out of my driveway I always brake a little extra to clean up the discs. Been doing that since my first Prius in 04.

Yes, the friction brakes engage when I back out of my driveway as well. I can hear the scraping on the rotors.
