Replaced Prado seals before recall
Answered by Graham Smith · 7 May 2015

Toyota Prado 2005: Soft brakes
Answered by Graham Smith · 26 May 2011
We have been told that some softness is a characteristic of the Prado, and despite this uncertain feeling the brakes do work and stop the car effectively.

I would suggest you quiz your dealer about the master cylinder issue and request that he checks yours.
