MastasmurF your car is a MY2013 as well? I have a feeling more and more owners of this car will be getting the same issue as they get closer to and past 20K miles.
I'm still waiting on Toyota Corporate customer service to call me. The dealer service director is "helping me out"
and wants me to pay $1080 to replace flywheel, clutch, and bearing, while the clutch disc and flywheel is still clearly serviceable. The pressure plate was obviously damaged by the seized release bearing. Aside from some hot spots caused by my "performance driving" all the damage to the clutch system was due to the failed bearing.
