We're still in the 'handful of cases' phase, by far the biggest problem so far has been the cam position sensor issues that have been stickied, this is still much smaller than that.
Don't have to go back too far in the posts to see people calling for a class action lawsuit on the DI seals failing, even though the big thread documenting everyone who had a problem capped out at around 100. 100 failures for >50,000 units does not a class action make.
Fully agreed that this engine has not been confidence inspiring when it comes to reliability (doubly so as it seems rare for Toyobaru to put a new engine in), we should start seeing the high-mileage guys hitting 100k within the next year or two, will be interesting for sure...
