Debris in the OCV, or one of the passages that feeds the OCV or cam sprocket, can affect the oil pressure, and throw off the variable timing. My service tech explained the entire system to me, showed me how the timing is done, etc. Also, the cam sprockets in early 2013's have a known issue, so potentially an oil pressure change, could affect an already failing sprocket, pushing it into complete failure. |

No, not the solenoid itself, but the oil system it controls.

Update #3, Just got a callback from the Customer relations individual handling the case, they told me it's not their fault because of three different things, 1st of all the engine has over 100,000 miles and given the nature of sports cars most likely driven rough (Wasn't since I've owned it) 2nd, because it is a rebuilt title, reason for the rebuilt title is it got into a fender bender... have the documents to prove it as well, and if that's the case they shouldn't have done the recall in the first place, and 3rd they already had the toyota GM come out and look specifically for the "TB1217H" that ermax said in the other forum post, which doesn't make sense because the engine is put together (Check imgur link) and nobody said anything about the GM looking for that sealant until I said something. So they won't be covering it, I need a whole shortblock. Looks like we're going the legal route |

Toyota’s role is to determine if the failure is a result on a failed part. A part that was installed correctly then failed and damaged your engine. That is all that is covered by the 12 month 12k mile warranty. Poor workmanship, broken parts, not enough oil in the engine, etc is not on Toyota. The dealer would normally try to pay that off with goodwill warranty, the temporary warranty extension people are being granted. Now that Toyota knows about you title goodwill is probably off the table. At this point,the dealer will have to man up and fix the car, or you go to court. Toyota didn’t break the car. The recall didn’t break the car. The poor work performed on the engine broke the car. That’s on the dealer. |

So how do you take a dealer to court? Attorney , lawyer , what do you recommend since you appear to have rational on why Toyota didn't break the car . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Toyota didn’t break the car because Toyota didn’t perform the recall. A technician who works for a dealership, which isn’t owned by Toyota, performed the recall. The work was performed incorrectly, that isn’t Toyota’s fault.
Toyota does not own the dealerships. Toyota does not pay the technicians. Someone owns the dealership, generally a person or group of people. Yes, you can sue the dealership for damages. If you pick your car up from an oil change and the windshield is broken, what would you do? It isn’t warranty, Toyota USA doesn’t owe you a windshield. The dealership does. Same thing, but a couple thousand dollars instead of several hundred. |

Under what basis do you sue a dealership ? How does one prove that that the recall work caused the engine to break ? Do you get an attorney ? Lawer, and if so what type ? Clarify ? sounds so easy to just say , sue the dealer ......? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Or you walk away, take your car and they never see you again. That’s what they’re hoping for. |

From what I’ve seen, the majority of frs/brz owners (especially early 2013s) are guys in their early 20s. The dealerships are probably fairly confident they don’t know how, or aren’t capable of persuing a civil suit. |
