This problem reminds me of my former Toyota Highlander 3.5L. A hose to the oil cooler was prone to failure. Toyota issued a tsb but neither dealership in town ever indormed me when I was in for service. At about 140k the hose gave out and emptied the engine of its oil. I got it in to a mechanic before irreparable damage was done and drove it another 45k miles afterward. But IMO that hose should have been the subject of a recall, not a tsb. And my opinion of the service departments of those dealers sank quite low, for not letting me know I had a potential problem.

Had an '07 Toyota Matrix. Problems with an engine computer...took forever to get replaced under warranty. I found out about the issue from news media reports, before any info from Toyota.
