I have had two different Toyota dealers I two different states tell me that two different Toyota Tundras (2010/2011) needed new engines. Had them both hauled back to my shop and put VVT solenoids in them and both are fine. Almost 2 years on one and 3 months on the other.
I took my 2006 F350 to my local dealer to have injector put in it about a month ago because I didn't have time. They installed them and took it for a test drive and didn't go two miles before the mechanic said the truck made a loud noise and locked up. I needed a new engine. I had it towed to my shop and pulled the injectors. Number 3 and number 2 had lifted and blew the o-rings. Replaced the o-rings and good to go. I have lost all confidence in dealships.
