That's a solution looking for a problem. Rotors are going to rust and that's a problem with the inspection criteria. I would ask for a written documentation of that requirement. Should of kept the old rotors so you can clean them up and reuse next time.

Your tailgate is probably contacting your bed cover... open bed cover and retry.

My 24 Flash with 4.5 k miles is no longer legal to drive. The dealer says it needs a complete brake job ,rotors and pads due to rust. The truck is parked in a heated garage and driven only locally. usually with OPD on . There is some minor visible surface rust on the rotors, barely noticeable. I absolutely refuse to spend anything on this truck. The vehicle inspection system is a racket and it would be cheaper to pay the fine rather than the brake job.
private inspection facility eh?
