Description of the problem	Yesterday,jan. 16, 2010, i was driving my camry and noticed the odor of oil through my a/c. It was raining so the street surfaces were wet, and i noticed that i was slipping as i accelerated from stops and making simple turns at normal wet-driving speeds, and three times this almost caused an accident. As i neared my home, the oil pressure light came on for just a moment and went off again. This happened once more a moment before i pulled into my driveway. I parked the vehicle, turned it off, and went inside for a moment to get a flashlight. When i came back outside, there was an oil sheen on the wet driveway spreading out from beneath my camry. I opened the hood and found oil spatter all over the passenger-side of the engine bay. I checked the dipstick only to find that the oil pan was dry. I closed the hood and waited until today to look into the issue further, as the rain had stopped. I filled the motor with oil and there were no drips visible, so i jacked up the car and checked the oil pan nut and filter housing and they were tight, so i started the vehicle. At that time, a rubber hose located on the left side of the engine began spitting oil out of what appeared to be a pin-hole in the hose. I turned off the car quickly, pushed it back into its parking spot and cleaned up a bit, knowing that i'd have to have it towed for service. A search of the internet for this problem finds a great deal of forum discussion, and that the toyota avalon using this same engine and part in 2005 had the same problems, leading to a service bulletin. I feel that the inherent danger that this poor engineering poses should be addressed for all camry owners to prevent the potential accidents that could occur should this happen on the highway instead of normal low-speed surface streets.

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.
