What's to stop someone whose car is perfect from saying "My car makes a noise on the highway" (assuming there is a TSB for this issue) to get a free repair? Toyota ends up wasting money, which goes into higher cost for the next generation car.

Well, first, that would be silly for someone to do because the chance of causing more issues is high. But, I feel the blame really falls on Toyota. They should not have made crappy parts and done more testing. The only reason why these are no recalls (in the official sense of the word) is because they have not caused harm.
