That software was never fixed. Those cars were still on the road after the "scandal". The problem went away somehow.

This isn’t true.

Toyota issued multiple engine controller updates. All mfgs do, all the time.

There are no changelogs.

It would also matter what their typical car lifecycle is, it could have been just before refresh so only effected a couple years.

It could have also been bad floor mats.

We’ll never know - but the point is, that their code was so bad you COULD never know.
