Some of you may remember we had REx problems back in July, here's the thread for a refresher:

Well the same CEL issues returned with the same OBD errors after the July fix. So this time it went in for service in early Nov, the dealership had it for two weeks (only because they were waiting on back-ordered parts). Turns out the issue this time was that the timing was out of spec. Not sure if it was checked in July when the cam position sensor was replaced, or if it fell out of spec at some point after. Either way, it ran great to get us home 200kms away on Saturday. Hopefully its teething problems are over!
We do have to go back in a couple weeks for more back-ordered parts to fix the cold temp steering noise... they ordered new bushings, apparently there is an updated part for this very issue.
