I guess it can also be known as the flywheel! Or something really close to the flywheel... I'm not incredibly familiar with all the parts down there. They suspect the bolts were over-tightened when it was put back together.
It's about 40k miles and bought it about 20k miles used, and have done at least 3 road trips of 1500-3k miles round trip prior to the valve spring recall in the past 3 years, so I have no doubt it was the work done during the valve spring work when they had it in pieces, in case anyone was wondering! the road trip probably was a life saver forcing the stress/break to happen so soon after they did the work. I wonder what they'd be saying if this happened a year or three from now as opposed to barely 2 months out Last edited by Ezmarii; 09-07-2019 at 04:12 PM. Reason: elaborated on car's current lifespan and previous driving history. and that they suspected overtightening during reassembly |

On a manual, the flexible coupling to take up misalignment between the crankshaft and input shaft is the clutch disk. The flex plate goes between the crankshaft and torque converter on an auto.

I normally wouldn't post the dealership but this time around, it looks like it's going to be the same rodeo. Just spoke to the Service Manager and he sounded like he didn't give a crap that the engine went. But it's Schaller Subaru in CT. The first time around I played patiently and they finally were proven wrong by a Subaru of New England rep and were told to fix this issue. This time around, I will be taking less crap from them. They obviously were not competent enough the first time around when doing the valve spring recall causing me to spin a rod bearing. Then told me the tech was more than knowledgeable in rebuilding the motor instead of replacing it. Now it has a worse rod knock than before and it sounds like something is just flying around in my motor and squealing. I will not let them try and "rebuild" my motor anymore at this point.

Just received the following from @DJ72 . I don't know the context, conditions, scope, affiliation, or intention of the information I'm relaying in my post here. I'll ask that he reply with more info-
"My 2013 FRS with just 17,000 miles was just diagnosed with engine failure. There is a class action suit that is being put together by the law firm Carlson Lynch. Every case of engine failure had to do with oil starvation, which was a result of the JO2 recall. Please share this info with the board. I can’t figure out how to post it. carlsonlynch.com 412-322-9243 Dave" |

Not sure if it is "class action" or just ambulance chasing lawyer.

Honestly, it's not as though the recall caused issues - it's the engine design that relies so heavily on sealant. Can't blame Toyota and Subaru as a company just because the techs dealerships have hired aren't detail oriented enough to do this adequately. At least it's more interesting than reading about how to cover trunk spoiler holes and wide wheel fitment, consider me engaged |

I can totally see individual action against a dealership that denied responsibly being effective and having a good chance of success. It would be the route I would take over an iffy class action against who knows who.

Thanks. With all the complaining I don't think we have heard from a single person that actually went the legal route. Don't say anything on here that they tell you not to though. You can bet that both Subaru and Toyota have had teams reading these threads as well as the Facebook stuff. Don't want to jeopardize your chances by some off hand remark..

My 2013 Scion FRS with 17,000 miles had engine failure after the valve spring recall. The diagnosis was rod bearing break down due to oil starvation. It cost me $6,200. Toyota is well aware of the situation but is taking no responsibility. Toyota provided instructions to every dealer on how to perform the JO2 recall. Apparently, there was no warning about the sealant. The sealant dripped in to the oil, which led to the oil channels to become clogged. This led to oil starvation in these vehicles. There is a class action lawsuit. I spoke with the lawyer, Jim McGraw about the lawsuit today. Please spread the word. All of us should be reimbursed for this or covered if your motor has not broke down yet. Check out the drive.com.
