I have seen a lot of brake dust on all of the last 3 vehicles that I have/do own...

2001 Toyota Tundra
2002 Acura RSX - S
2004 - Titan

I think it is very common within the industry. I believe it is just the brake pads that they use nowadays. If I'm not mistaken didn't brake pads used to contain a lot of asbestos? Obviously they don't anymore and there is a big push to use "green, environmental friendly" materials in pads. I think this is a big cause of brake pad dust buildup. Nothing to be concerned with at all...so please don't make the dust an issue....it is common.
