According to Carpoint.com.au, Toyota spokesman Mike Breen said the SINGLE FAILURE involved a piston and a conrod separating. Doesn't say anything about a recall. Just says they are stopping sales for now.

Like i said in my first post (rumor) I do not think we will hear the whole story until the fat lady sings.But some people are saying the supercharger caused the engine to blow up. The increase of power caused by superchargers puts allot of stress on everything. Watch NHRA racing sometime when a supercharger comes apart or the engine comes apart it can be explosive.
My Mercedes SLK 230 Kompressor which is German for supercharged. Has never had a problem, the 4 banger will haul ass when the supercharger kicks in.You can get it up on the pipe and then nail the gas and it will put you back in the seat.Funny I cut and pasted this from the .au site and everything is backwards while I am typing I guess it is because they are on the other side of the world.Lets see when it posts.

That article never said anything about a turbocharger..

which has bolted a supercharger on to the Aurion's V6 engine to lift power from 204 kW to 241 kW.

JAKSTER, this is a major REPOST, it's rather old news actually.


I think what the other members were complaining about was the fact that your thread title was simply "Toyota Recall" which is basically asking to get flamed. It would've been better if you titled it "Rumour: TRD Aurion recall" or something that's more specific. They shouldn't be pissed at you but to some extent they had the right to be mad because the title was misleading and suspicious as a bait for flames.

Good god man, Jakster said turbo in his original post.

Maybe putting two and two together is too tough.....

go back and read it ten times if neccesary.
