The oil cooling hose popped while driving car. Apparently there was a recall/service bulletin for this issue involving other toyota and lexus vehicles. For some reason there was none issued for this vehicle. Now there is engine damage. Toyota dropped the ball on this one. They need to be held liable for the damage.
