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. |
There is a guy from Portugal who also experienced failure.

Any experience with this scenario here?

From what I understand, yes, they will. I forget where I saw that, but I remember reading it somewhere.
