Does this sound right to you? Many thanks for sharing your insights!!

Unfortunately, the price seems to be in the ballpark. My assumption is that Toyota inherited the system from Lexus, so the parts are absurdly expensive, and the hydraulic fluid bleed/recharge/whatever makes it a labor intensive repair.
My 2015 Trail is at a dealer in Long Beach CA to replace a leaking rear KDSS cylinder. $2,450
I don't have the paperwork yet, but this is the breakdown he gave me over the phone:
Cylinder: $1,200
Hydraulic fluid: $150
Labor: $975
Tax: $137
The service sales reps I've spoken with clearly have no idea what KDSS is, so I'm about to find out if one of their mechanics can get the job done.
