One thing you won't have to worry about is whether or not toyota will take care of your problem.
Yes, they will pay for the towing of your rig from anywhere also. And, i was even offered another DC tundra to drive.

So this post right here confirms the fact that the number will be much greater than 20. You have a build date of 2/07. Toyota states this only occured in a few trucks, in very early production stages. So I doubt they built only 20 trucks between the early stages and 2/07.
I dont buy the story of a "bad batch" of cams. They dont make small #'s of cams at once, like 20-100 at a time. THe provider is making a bunch, thousands at a time, if not tens of thousands.
Also, if toyota knew about this problem early on like they state, they would have made sure they got a hold of the trucks affected VERY quickly, before problems arose and hit the press. See, the problem is toyota didnt know early on, and I am guessing all the 5.7's will be recalled to replace cams, or at least hoping.
What toyota is doing now is damagae control by stating low #'s. THey are also calculating how many cams will actually break based on what they now know.
I am a huge toyota fan, not bashing, so keep it to yourself. I only drive toyota's, and have since day one. I hate looking at that xterra you may see in my sig, its not mine, its the mrs!
