Description of the problem	My 2006 toyota camry, bought brand new, had only 14,606 miles and driven 5 years and 11 months, when i brought it to the dealer for a new battery. Dealer hoisted it and the mechanic told me that the rubber control arm bushings (lower suspension) were tearing and therefore, both left and right side control arms needed replacement. . Cost: $988. 38 less 10% discount. The rubber bushing flexes up and gown when the control arm moves and is subject to age deterioration and damage from road debris like salt, snow, etc. The bushing is only partially shielded by the car frame. If the bushing tears more, the control arm could fall and the car would lose steering ability - a very serious safety issue. I saw the same complaint for another 2006 camry and 1996 camry on the nhtsa web site. I wrote a letter to toyota asking if the rubber bushing on the new replacement control arms i purchased is the same poor quality as the originals. Also, are the new 2012 camry's equipped with same shock control arm bushings? I received a letter from toyota in torrance, ca dated 12/12/11 saying they "reviewed and documented" my letter. When i called, the toyota quality assurance center, the lady said she has to first review my complaint letter. After 5 minutes she said she did not know the answer to my questions about the control arm. Do not buy any toyota car without first personally inspecting the condition of both control arm bushings together with the mechanic holding a flashlight and mirror, at every oil change. Make the same inspection before the 36,000/3 year warranty or 1 year warranty on replacements, expire! Any incipient tear is reason for replacement at toyota's cost. A tiny tear shows a latent defect because fracture mechanics says the tear or degradation of the rubber bushings will propagate. Updated 04/07/14

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.
