You'd think for experts within Toyota and Subaru who have many lifetimes of experience, they'd have seen this coming a mile away and have built in compensation for some degree of complete engine failures into the judgment/settlement they received.
I also don't think that's too harsh of a punishment for the supplier given (from what I understand) they intentionally falsified material testing data.

Presuming there was any settlement from the supplier that covers anything more than the bad parts.
Again, not even the supplier's fault that people can't follow simple directions in sealing an engine.
We have no clue what the whole story behind the bad parts was but I assure you that sort of thing happens all the time across the industry.
