Add in an improved seal or tune to prevent it from happening again and I think most of us would be pretty happy. Hell even corporate leaning on dealerships to ensure every car that came in was covered under warranty would leave most owners satisfied. |

I still would not be happy with a promise of warranty coverage because the warranty is a finite period and after that we are still on our own to deal with this significant flaw. |

Not saying they should dodge the bullet, they should absolutely be responsible for repairing cars that failed under normal operation, which includes AutoX and HPDE. Quote:

I doubt I will wait many years into the producton run to see if the problem becomes widespread enough for Toyobaru to do something like Mazda did. |

So yeah...I say it's daydreaming it'll happen any time soon. I say the constructive things is push for companies like DeatschWerks who make port injectors to make a better aftermarket direct injector...so again if this is the only issue to make the engine more robust...then it's worth the $1k+ in parts and labor. |

Sorry to digress but I wonder how Toyota succumbed to issuing a recall on all those D4 direct injection only V6 engines in the IS250 and GS300 due to carbon buildup. A friend that works in a Toyota dealer told me they had to do a tear down on the engine of every car that came in with this problem (another friend's 2009 IS250 AWD was misfiring and this was done and fully paid for by Toyota). I don't see VW/Audi owning up to this problem with all the 2.0T and 4.2L V8 FSI engines on the road.
Maybe something similar will result with this DI injector seals problem who knows. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK2C0itdIDI"]2006 - 2010 Lexus GS300 & IS250 Engine Misfire Recall CSP (Repair Video) - YouTube[/ame] |

I'm not saying our engine will have the same issue, what I mean is that Toyota and Subaru might end up having to issue a recall in a similar fashion to rectify the DI seals issue. Sorry I wasn't clear before.
