This issue is identical to the problems I had with my original motor in 2013. I was cruising down the highway one night and the car started to knock. Long story short - the dealer blamed me for racing that car and revving it to 8500rpm. I requested proof, and they couldn't/wouldn't provide any and pushed the repair through insurance. 7k miles later, the engine blew up (but it did have help from a Vortech kit and Visconti at that point).

For some background, I was having coolant issues since new: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36150

I'm not saying that your engine may suffer the same fate, but just keep an eye out for the signs and bring it to Toyota the second something is amiss.
