Description of the problem	I purchased a used 2007 lexus rx350 for my 16 year old daughter. It had a little over 100k miles. Everything worked perfectly, no complaints whatsoever. Until, my son borrowed it, and while he was driving it, he said it quit. He lost all power steering, so he pulled over. We called a tow truck to tow it to a mechanic. When the mechanic called me, he said the oil cooling line busted, which made the oil pump empty the engine's oil. He said it would need a whole new engine. He said the car is worth nothing. I paid $9k for this car a year ago, and now it is not worth $100. The mechanic said this is a known problem for toyota/lexus, but there was no recall. To me - this is unacceptable. In my opinion, since toyota knew of this problem, but didn't recall it, they either need to cover the cost of a new engine, or buy the car back from me. I am very upset over this.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
