Description of the problem	Excessive oil consumption. This is actually my father's car. His name is [xxx] and he has asked me [xxx] to act on his behalf. [xxx] is 91 years old and does not use computers. I talked to a toyota customer service representative about their "warranty enhancement notification" letter # ze7and was told that my fathers car does not apply because toyota put a cut-off at 150,000 miles or 10 years from first date of issue. My father is the second owner of this car and he has owned it for about 2. 5 - 3 years. When he purchased it, it had about 130,000 miles on it, it now has 158,3000 miles. He has never received a notice or letter from toyota notifying him of oil consumption issues. I was driving with him in late january of 2018 when the oil warning light lit up on the dash, i immediately pulled over as i knew he had just had the oil & filter changed at the local jiffy lube about 1500 miles prior to what the mileage read. I was very angry when i saw it didn't register on the dipstick and i had to add about 1 1/4 quarts of oil. I thought jiffy lube shorted him on oil and i then started changing it myself. I keep a close watch on the oil consumption and have found that i need to add about one quart every 1200 miles. The engine is the 2az-fe, 2. 4l and is involved with the oil consumption problem that toyota has acknowledged, but will not seem to help since the car has over 150,000 miles on it. As a consumer i think this is wrong on toyota's part and that they should stand behind their product when it is their fault for knowingly using faulty parts/ material, then leaving the consumer to absorb the cost. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.
