    Q6: What is Toyota going to do? Will they conduct a recall / campaign?
    A6: Toyota is committed to our customers' safety and their confidence in our vehicles and will take appropriate action to address this condition as necessary.


    Can any one translate the answer into understandable term? Is it necessary or unnecessary?

    i.e. they're waiting for the big boss to tell them what the next move is. I'm guessing their hands are tied as to what they can say/do cause it's all in the hands of Toyota Japan.


    Airbalancer, yeah I was wondering about that too. I looked at the toyota service page and noted that 0W20 is available as synthetic oil only. It's a little more expensive, yes but how can I know that the delaer will use that instead of charging me (and using) 5W20 dino oil?

    A6.1 -That's a total non-answer by Toyota and exactly what they should NOT be doing. For whatever reason they aren't prepared to give that answer yet, but they better soon.
