i think this is true. a long time ago i posted about this blog/channel where this fleet operator/manager who had a massive fleet of a25a taxis had used/broken a25a heads stacked up against a wall 6 feet high almost as far as the eye can see where he did a deep dive into the issue and showed casting flaws in the head. this was way before any of this news. but hopefully they changed things up for the newer engines because it's definitely one of my favourite powertrains (in hybrid form) and if i didn't drive Full Electric, it would be my preferred method of cheap/trouble free mobility.
