It sucks that the guys got stuck with it but that is the reality of the situation.
If people put half the energy into chasing those dealers instead of trying to get the wrong party to pay they probably would have caved and did what they should have.
Any owner who filed a lawsuit and didn't name S/T in addition to the dealer should fire their attorney. Seriously. Also wouldn't have to be a full replacement of the engine. There are other ways to pressure dealers to do the right thing or otherwise help the affected owners.
