Consumer Description

THE ENGINE FAILED ON MY 1993 V6 3.0L CAMRY WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES, DUE TO ELECTROLYSIS ON THE CYLINDERS AND RESULTING DAMAGE TO THE COOLING SYSTEM AND ENGINE BLOCK. MY SECOND OPINION MECHANIC STATES THAT THIS IS THE SAME V6 ENGINE THAT WAS USED IN TOYOTA TRUCKS IN THE EARLY 90'S THAT HAD HEAD GASKET DEFECTS THAT LED TO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I UNDERSTAND THAT TOYOTA RECALLED AND REPLACED THESE GASKETS AND FIXED ANY RESULTING DAMAGE. TOYOTA OF SANTA BARBARA (WHERE I REGULARLY HAVE THIS CAR SERVICED) CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICE/PARTS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IF NOT, WHY WOULDN'T THEY BE, GIVEN THAT IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM? DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE? *LA
