If that means they shouldn't recall this issue, or we should be happy that issue waited for 5 more years to be recalled (or any customer of a car with an widespread issue that contributes to engine failure, as has been reported already with the RTV chunks), then I don't agree.

No, no , no. You said this.

This is what my comment is referring to. Don't change the subject or try to paint it as a response that it is not. This kind of stuff takes time, like watching a cruise ship try to turn. No doubt Toyota and Subaru looked into what caused the issue, the corrective measures in production. How many units were affected. Probability of failure and so forth. Corrective measures on potentially affected cars will probably follow if there are any. It's only been what, 6 months since this issue popped up.
