    i have a 2010 Prius II that had a recall in 2013 on the brake boosted. I had a new booster pump put on and now three years later it has brake fade again. I am told from the dealer that it will cost 1800 to repair. So how long does a recall last. Anyone else having this problem?

    A recall is a 1 time event, with possibly a 1 year warranty

    What do you mean by "brake fade"? What's specifically happening? Are there any warning lights on the dash?

    this sounds like a safety issue.

    How many miles on the car? Depending on driving technique, it could just be that the brake pads have worn down...
