[QUOTE="kkoepper, post: 698111, member: 3240"] I had brake failure in a 36' diesel pusher motorhome in the mountains of Utah while flat towing a car from CA to IN. The fluid was old and had absorbed enough water that the brakes boiled the fluid after a long stint of downhill. I had a supplemental brake system on the towed car, thank God, because that's the only brakes I had. Serious pucker. I will never neglect brake fluid again. Having said that, I don't think you would have to worry about your Toyota if you're not using the brakes heavily in mountains or doing something else that will overheat them. I've always heard that brake fluid should be changed every 2 years due to it's hygroscopic nature. [/QUOTE]
