Model	AVALON
Model Year	2009
File date	08/03/12
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	High beam headlight bulbs shattered because of faulty design which utilizes them as drl, build up on filament causes high heat to shatter bulbs prematurely. I called and spoke to toyota but they declined to stand behind their product saying they only cover for 5 years or 72,000 miles. This seems to me to be very disingenuous since how are miles related to this safety concern. I can understand a time cut off but i do not understand the mileage cutoff. This is a safety problem and it is their design that causes it so why aren't they standing behind their product?
