I also get your frustration. You don't want anybody fucking up your car.
Meanwhile, go talk to Chase at Toyota One of Oakland. Ask him how many failures they had. Ask him about coverage if there's a failure. Ask him about which mechanic will do the repair, and what their experience is.
In the end, you can run without the fix, just paying your fees, and maybe get nailed for tags. Then again, I ran 1.5 years with expired tags recently, because the DMV never accepted proof of insurance. Idiots. Now I have tags again, though. Yay!

Just my observation from down under ,
Three of us bought new 2013 manual ones at about the same time.
One has 25000kms with no valve spring problem and no recall yet.
Another has 60000kms with no valve spring problem and no recall yet.
The third has 45000kms and is for sale after getting the recall challenge attempt.
So how about distance vs failure graphs before and also after recall?
