1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

2015 chevy Silverado 2500 hd VIN # (xxxx) purchase my truck new in 2015. The truck now has 14,400 miles on it. I notice a few weeks ago that the brakes didn't feel right. I pulled the wheels and noticed that the rotors were grooved and excessive rust build up. Two of the brake pads were worn down to the metal (one in the front and one in the rear). I pulled the rotors and took them over to be turned down. The mechanic at the garage told me that they could not be turned. Reason being that some outer metal was worn down to a softer metal and could not be turned down. I replaced 4 rotors and pads and the two front calipers, the rear calipers seem to be ok. Then I went over to the local cevy dealer to see if there was a recall on the brakes for this problem. They said no the reason given is that they don't guarantee against rust. While researching this on the internet, I discovered that its just not my year vehicle 2015 having this problem but goes back to 2000. How can you say that this is not a safety issue and not have a recall for it. And by the way my truck is kept in my garage all the time. So exposure to the element is not an issue.
