I'll post more issue details in the appropriate thread in the next day or two.

I do appreciate the fact that Northridge Toyota keeps their lot open so you can drop off your car after hours and leave the key and related information in a lock box for them to look at in the morning. I guess I'll find out in the next few days what they mean when they say they warranty their work...
So Northridge Toyota dealership and mother Toyota state that my bearings are spun, but not as a result of the J02 recall work they did a few weeks ago. They also say this would not normally be covered by their warranty, but for this one time Toyota will cover it as a one time customer satisfaction deal at no cost to me.

I know correlation is not causation, but it feels like this sort of thing is happening to enough people after the J02 recall work that there is a better than average chance the two are directly related. So the "it's not a result of the J02 work" answer doesn't sit well with me. That being said, the dealer and Toyota are covering it and, in my opinion, are doing the right thing.
