    Toyota does use superior meterial in there products. I have only had trouble with 1 bolt on whole car to date.

    You have said that before.......and I think it has been disproven.
    I quite assure you that previous models I've had did specify an interval.
    Brakes are brakes. The basics are no different on a hybrid. And they are no different from one country to another.

    There may have been an oversight in the printing of some manuals.
    I think that you repeatedly suggesting that they made that non-recommendation on purpose is irresponsible.

    Seems like I heard that the "Prius Chat mobile app" doesn't work very good.

    I hope you aren't doing that while you are driving.

    The term "brake fluid" does not appear in the Toyota USA 2012 Prius v Warranty and Maintenance Guide.

    I'm not sure how it's irresponsible to report on Toyota lack of mention.

    I'm not saying I agree with that btw; I'm changing it tri-yearly.

    You know, I think I'm gonna hit ignore, had enough of this malarkey, lol.

    Can't hurt to dunk a test strip in every now and then.

    (well, it could hurt to be super obsessive about it, because every time you open the reservoir humid air gets in. So, well-spaced-out every-now-and-then.)

    It is not "malarkey" sir.
    Your original post did NOT mention a specific year or model so the implication was "Toyota does not recommend brake fluid changes (for any of it's cars).
    I'm pretty sure THAT is not correct.
