Has anyone else reviewed the Toyota slideshow and related PR on the Dr. Gilbert debunking?
http://pressroom.toyota.com/pr/tms/document/Exponent_ProfGilbert_8Mar10.pdf
As part of their "defense" they have totally laid-out the fault tree and required sequencing.
Assuming that it is an under-hood box, with a little material and process information (like finish, solder, laminate, compliant pin?) it appears to me to likely be a quick FA.
The fact that there is complete silence about any (IMO obvious) FA hypothesis is very intriguing.
Although I have no specific information!, I think it highly unlikely that Toyota doesn't know the root (electronic) cause for at least some of them.
If Michael Pecht or one of my competitors has their hands on a faulty unit the public should know the answer soon enough. If not, it probably means tort beat quality one more time (aren't they supposed to work in consort!?)
I think it will be very interesting to see how the legislators and regulators handle such a situation.
