Description of the problem	In late 3q 2013 we began to hear a common sound from our 2007 camry hybrid go from occasional to chronic: a 5-10 second hum from the front right, like a pump pressurizing a chamber. For the first few years we owned the car it would happen periodically; now it's happening every 5-10 seconds when the car is running and even when it's not, both before we start it (after opening the door) and for 10-15 minutes after it's been turned off. Sometimes we hear a sound like a bark or chirp; it started about the same time as the pressurization frequency increased. I'd also noticed an occasional throbbing of the brakes while the car was at rest. I've noticed no decline in performance, either from the engine or the hybrid system, and no issues with braking on the road. Once i've gotten the dreaded "check vsc system" error, but it cleared itself after a day. I took it into a toyota dealership in december and tried to explain the problem; they thought it was a fan belt, and tightened the belts. That didn't solve the problem. I finally took it back in today, and the lead tech sat down with me in the car - he knew what it was almost immediately. They investigated, confirmed the issue, and informed me it would be $3100+ in parts and labor. I asked what they could do, given that there's an active nhtsa investigation and rumors of a class action lawsuit, and they came down to $2800. To their credit, the dealership has been professional, responsive, courteous and sympathetic. Still, after evaluating the replacement cost, the car's value, and our current finances, we're going to have to continue to drive the car daily despite the threat of a serious braking system failure. Not good.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
