DPF issue on my BS-6 Fortuner & how Toyota resolved it (Team-BHP)

In conclusion, It is a possibility that my vehicle was among the first few lots of 2021 Fortuner and a faulty part may have caused the issue.

Considering the issue was a design flaw, all injectors and DPF components were replaced in a good-will gesture. I suspect that the root cause for my issue was filling up at a bad pump on the highway with highly adulterated diesel. Also, some of the parts in the same were not 100% OK (design / engineering flaws). When i asked for details of the parts, he couldn't provide the same at that moment. I got a call on Tuesday (14th Dec) from the local Toyota Dealership where I service my cars. They replaced the catalytic converter and the injectors.
