I can confirm that I have also had the lower oil cooler pipe on my August 2009 Aurion fail today. I spotted a trail of oil when we got out of the car, and recognised it for engine oil straight away. Not a chance I'll be able to get it fixed on a Sunday. Not bloody impressed that the recall for these engines in America was halted in 2008 when they changed the design, but continued to install the defective lines in other countries like Australia for years onwards(I've seen one post on here for a 2011 vehicle that still has the rubber type lines installed). I'm concerned that the VVTI line is the same style now as well.
I'll be calling Toyota tomorrrow. They just replaced the sticky dash on my car, and carried out the recall for the power window switch which hadn't been done before. It obviously goes to show that the VIN tracking for these vehicles is a total crapfight for Toyota. I wish I stuck with my little 2000 Echo, that bugger never gave up.
