The 4 years worth of posts have nothing to do with the spring recall. They were for oil starvation and if you read more of what I have said you would see I have called that issue for 3 years.
At no point did I say the issue with the recall failures was not legit.
You have jumped on a post with both feet before reading on for the updates and other posts. Don't take one post out of context.

The recall docs lay out the history of the problem and they were aware of it back in 2014. So not 6 years but still a good while.

OK 4 I can understand. Was sort of weird that they knew about the problem before the cars were built!
Probably waited to see what sort of failure rate the springs had in the field before acting. There was likely a threshold that they crossed where they felt it was no longer acceptable.

How many engines have to die to catch those five that will eventually eat a valve? It's idiotic.
