Oil hose recall - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

FYI for anybody that hasn't been hit with it yet:
LSC 90K - Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) Oil Hose Replacement Code: 90K Memo
This is a Limited Service Campaign. Please contact your authorized Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to replace the VVT-I oil hose with a newly designed one before March 31, 2013.
Mine started *spraying* and I do mean that literally, oil out of this valve today. Lost 5 quarts in as many miles. Also, it causes the damn air conditioner to stop working. Which is lovely in 95 degree heat.

I think this oil burst recall was out since last year.

Yes it burst and spit out all the oil. It did happen to my car at around 50k miles or something.

What model years and engines are affected?

this was known in the Avalon in '05 and '06, but they stuff it into the Camry '07 without providing any fix to address this defect. I was very disappointed that my Camry V6 '07 had so many issues. I hope Toyota never drop the ball like this again.
