Default Toyota Aurion TRD

A reliable source has let me know that the TRD Aurion has been withdrawn from the dealer stocks as a small issue has been identified with block ventilation apparently caused when the pistons and rods stop working as an effective team and some of the parts go their own way.

A major source of red faces at Avalon but probably what is going to happen when something is rushed into the show rooms to please the company masters.

Not to worry, I know that a lot of them haven't been sold, so no ones at huge risk :P

Lol, there's a shame.

Ah well, let's see how many recalls Ford have for the Orion.
