Weren’t some parts sent back to Japan to be investigated? Maybe entire engines? That also makes me wonder how the recall was handled in Japan.

I think I remember hearing stories of blown engines getting shipped for analysis, although not sure if specifically related to the valve spring recall.

I do hope S/T care though. Even though my recall work appears to have gone smoothly, I know of one other guy who went to the same dealership as me and had his engine die after the repair work was completed. Dealership and Toyota both said they wouldn’t help him. Stories like that make me question whether I would ever be an early adopter again, let alone buy another S/T product.
