There should have been no pressure on the bleeder cap to blow off like that. If it did have pressure, it would be brake fluid and you would have a BIG mess.

It's good that you got it to the dealer for brake bleed service.


Unless the bleeder was loose, which would have been apparent fairly quickly I'd think at the first serious application of the brakes... I've never seen one "work loose", only ones that were left UN-tightened.
