Good thing you're not in charge.

It's scientific. You wouldn't understand.

In other words - you don't know ? -
It really puzzles me as to why we (the forum members and owners of FR-S and Brz cars) were caught surprised by this large recall, since very few of us had experienced valve spring failures. Please do enlighten me - oh, wise one - humfrz |

We get rotors returned from time to time to test and identify what caused them to fail prematurely. Our engineers and quality people can find out exactly what went wrong with surprising ease. The level of record keeping is beyond belief so if it was something that could affect a whole lot we could pretty much narrow it down to what day and even shift the parts were used on at the assembly plant. The parts that go into cars are more tightly controlled than most people would ever understand but as in this case some bad ones still slip through.

So, 94 reported failures across all models. I wonder how many cars we are talking about? Only 2 reported failures among our forum group who many hammer on their cars (I wonder how many that may be?) So, even though my car is on the recall list, I wonder what the probability would be of a valve spring failure, if I were to pass on the recall? humfrz - |

I think I said something similar earlier. I'll likely have the engine apart for some other reason. Might consider it then.

What I'm afraid of is the toyotechs with a giant huge kawk gun.
They don't know what they've got a holt of. Never had an engine held together with glue before. Could be innerestin.
