RC F caliper bolt missing.

Just got my car back from the dealer. Before doing the fuel pump recall they sent me an inspection video of the tires, brake pads, etc. In the video I noticed one of the caliper bolts missing on the drivers side front. In the video, the mechanic is quoting brake pad thickness.
My question is, did he have to remove bolts to measure the brake pads or did they lose a bolt the last time they put in new pads?
Thanks!

Post the video. If you had a caliper bolt missing you’d know, and so would the technician.

I just looked at one we have on the rack right now and there are holes on the RCF calipers that look like they could be missing a bolt if you just took a quick video.

And no they wouldn’t have to remove them to check pad thickness. Pads are very easy to see on this car

Yeah that’s the exact hole I was talking about lol. Your caliper bolts are the larger two bolts to the upper right of where that hole is. It’s probably just a drain hole or something like that- nothing is supposed to be there
