Question rear brake caliper problem

Hi guys

Hope you can help

I have had a rear brake caliper replaced at a Honda dealer near..... Cambridge.Upon completion I now find the brake pedal has quite a bit of play - soft I would call it.Before the caliper change the pedal was solid/firm.The garage have indicated the brake was bled - singular.

Do I have air in the system?

Do they need to bleed all four brakes?

Whats going on!!


Thanks in advance
