Probably more than they will ever publicize. I understand, many here believe Toyotas, Hondas, etc., never break; however, both those dealers have busy service departments, and it can't be just because they are cleaning new vehicles. Read other articles on Toyota and how they have been hiding some recalls, and how their quality has been dropping lately due to higher production rates.
I'm not saying Toyota does not make good cars and trucks....
they DO. I'm just saying to those who imply they don't break....
they DO Break.

As for cylinder heads, let's not forget that other great Jap car company...Nissan, and how last year they had to stop production due to faulty engines.
