At a cursory look, that may be true...but "connect some dots"...

Toyota designs and validates a part, goes outside it's long-cherished supply chain of "known" Japanese suppliers to have it manufactured by an American supplier in a Canadian plant...and the "feathers hit the fan..."

Tell me where the "collateral damage" (to coin a familiar phrase from OP, here) ends??

Again... "others" have had "problems"...and will, again...so there should NOT be any "dancing in the streets" by anyone...IMHO
