As I said on the Australian forum, the fact that this is now happening in the U.S., Canada and Australia, points towards a systemic problem and not a dealership specific one. Sealant placement seems like a fiddly job that requires a fair amount of concentration. Laps in concentration leads to catastrophic consequences. They--i.e Toyota--should have thought a bit harder about how to apply the sealant so that it wouldn't have caused problem. i.e a tool or jig to assist with the job.

I'm not sure what the legal situation is like in the U.S. but I don't think that they would have a leg to stand on if they pushed their luck in the Australian courts.
