Toyota just authorized a new shortblock, driver side camshaft and driver side cam gears.
Excess sealant on the exhaust cam gear was blocking oil flow.

I'd imagine that these engines are mostly assembled on a line by robots, so could "excess sealant" be a fairly common issue or just a one in a thousand or 10 thousand occurrence?

My issues started at 8k miles. If you haven't had an issue, you're probably in the clear.

I bought my '14 Limited just about a month ago with 6,500 on the odometer, I'm probably within a couple hundred miles of 8k by now. (Pulls on collar, crosses fingers)
