Geez, an $80,000 car with a problem caused by saving 0.2c in manufacture. It's amazing isn't it...
I guess it comes down to the same old, don't by a new car if the model is also brand new. Wait a few years for them to sort out the problems. Just like the 3.0td patrols, great cars in series III but let's not even talk about series II.
Surfs were the same, the pre 1995 1kz-TE 3.0L TD motors used to sheer ideler bolts and cause the timing to go out in an interference motor (ouch nasty), that was the first of the 3.0LTD diesels, V6 Commodores, wasn't the VN as peice of crap, essentially the same motor in the VS and it's renound for being one of the strongest in the world, landcruisers and main bearings, the list goes on!
