that sounds like bullsh#t - blame the components and not the workmanship. at least they are replacing your engine.

Toyota (and likely Subaru) are leaving the responsibility for the costs of the cockups with the dealers by the looks of it i.e. there seems to be no standard response to this. Toyota have given dealers the instructions on how the fix is to be done and the dealers that cock it up are being held responsible to the owners for the costs to fix it. Some dealers are taking responsibility for the errors, others are trying to dodge it.
