100,000 x 30,000 = $3,000,000,000. OUCH.

so here is my question there has been some talk about why the 24 was not included in the recall. I'm wondering if they are going to wait till the 25 drop and then say oh ya if you have a 24 you get a new engine also? mine was build in 4/24 so I'm thinking I'm going to be ok but one never knows have you heard anything down the pipe??

The 24's and any Hybrid have not yet been addressed but we know the hybrids are affected as Toyota said they are but weren't included in the original recall because with the hybrid system they retain motive power from the battery. The thought is they can move themselves out of harms way so not a critical safwety issue. My guess is they are hoping the normal warranty process will handle those. No official word on the 2024's but there does seem to be issues happening with them. Hard to judge scale though.

God forbid they have to try and get an engine fixed via a warranty claim with Toyota. This article is starting to make the rounds about how Toyota denied a warranty claim on a blown GR Corolla engine. The explanation from Toyota is baffling. It actually looks like Toyota might have had ChatGPT write the denial explanation.
