The fact that this is such a hugely invasive engine out procedure means that it should be up to the discretion of the car owner if they want to have it done or not. I should be able to sign off on a piece of paper that says I choose not to have it done, and therefore if I suffer any engine failure as a result of not doing so I won't hold the dealership accountable.
In no way is this an "emissions related" type of recall. That part if it is complete bullshit and is just a means to attempt to force people to have this fucked up invasive work done to their engine that is completely healthy and in no need of it.

agreed, it is a bunch of horse shit. I'm positive if I didnt get the recall done my car would be fine. I know this dealership is way in LA area but Longo Toyota did mine right, I called and checked they have one of the highest rate of performing J02 recalls in the country and as far as I know have not had any engine failures, so if you haven't gotten it done yet and are close enough I think the risk is big enough to travel to a dealership with a high chance of success. The service advisor named Danny is the dude to talk to.
