Mine does the same thing. Except, I wouldn't call it a squeal. I'd call it a tug boat air horn. LOL. It sounds like a triple-axle dump truck backing out of my driveway at 6:30 every morning. VERY embarrassing and I'm sure the neighbors just love it. It only does it when cold first thing in the morning in reverse. Doesn't do it going forward at all. I believe it has something to do with the parking/emergency brake setup in the rear.

Try rinsing the discs and pads with clean water...let dry good and test for sqeal. Thirty five years in Az, Phx, Tucson and Safford..plenty of dusty paved roads.
Sometimes just the material used in the brake pads from the factory cause noise due to the hardness. Softer brakes are more quiet.

Had squeal issue on my daughter's Altima, removed and saw both front rotors showing grinding surface yet the pads are still at 75%, replaced the rotors and pads, now it's quiet again. Maybe that's what you would want to check on the condition of both rotors.
