Hope that is true, might take my SC BRZ there if so.

I'm not a lawyer, but I also highly doubt they can charge extra for anything additional they have to remove.

To me, the legal argument would be "I never would have modified the car or installed those aftermarket parts if I had known Toyota/Subaru had a manufacturing defect in their engine. An engineering defect which also happens to be very serious from a safety perspective".


I would love to hear actual legal opinions on this -even anonymously or via PM- from attorneys both in the U.S.A. and Canada. Understanding -of course- that they are not dispensing actual legal advice. Just background from an educational perspective.
I agree with you, but I wouldn't want to go to a dealership that said they weren't willing to work on the car due to mods and force the issue and have them work on it. This recall is pretty involved and I rather get it done with a dealership I'm on good terms with.

Want to give you guys a heads up. I ended up contacting the Tysons Corner Toyota and they don't seem to mind cars having engine mods and they want very minimum labor cost for clutch/throwout bearing. I still haven't gotten the work done, but I'm scheduled for the 2nd week of March. It seems like they have a dedicated group of guys that work on it and they do it in batches.

Seems like the failure thread is getting a lot of hits. I just recently took mine in, but haven't got the car back yet. Any updates from people who got their cars back locally? Everything still ok?
