Update on my situation: I had recall work done in Feb 2019. Engine blew up in May 2019 (piston rod broke). Dealership refused to take responsibility of issue even after I opened up the engine my self and proved it was improper sealant application (oil screen and several galleries were plugged with sealant and sealants were on parts of the engine covers that weren't supposed too (Reference the J02 valve spring job aid, big help). Ended up having a Subaru dealership put a used engine in it (that hasn't had the recall work done, but I'm nervous on having it done).
I took the Toyota dealership to small claims court and won. Took 9 months but recouped cost for the used engine, rental car while it was being repaired, depreciation on my car (used engine has many more kms on it), and some costs for court fees and my time. Overall very shitty experience.
Good luck out there everyone on dealing with this.
