If you have had yours inspected, just go to https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index to report that foreign matter (gasket material) from the assembly process at the factory was found to be clogging your oil pickup, which has been proven to cause engine starvation and engine failure in certain driving conditions.

Or something like that I guess.

Its the only way.

Nope. The only way a recall will happen is if engine failures from it become so prevalent that it becomes cheaper to recall 10k+ engines for a repair vs replacing the few engines that actually fail because of it.
