Brake Pad Toed-In?

[Nesser]

I'm seeing the right rear wheels outside brake pad isn't making full contact with the rotor. Seems to be hitting closer to the hub and not applying pressure near the outside edge of the rotor leaving a rusty spot.
Left side rear is making even pressure across the face of the rotor and looks good. No vibration or noise when braking. I can't hear it dragging when free wheeling either.

I'm guessing there could be lots of reasons for this - plan to take it in for a warranty discussion as it only has 5k km's on it and hasn't seen winter salt yet. I expect the rear brakes would need to be replaced sooner than expected if they can't get it to make full contact with the rotor.

Anyone else seeing this on their hybrids?

This is the good one on the drivers rear:

Got a reminder to update today. The wheel seemed to bed in on it's own after some more use. I assume the rotor face and the brake pad friction material were not parallel when new and have now squared up. The updated photo on the right is around 7,500km - which was about 2,500km after the original photo on the left.

You can see more friction material and less rust on the rotor - right side photo.

Be sure to get into the brakes every now and then by going beyond the hybrid regen capacity. Here in the salt belt they are more likely to rot off than wear out.
