Description of the problem	2002 toyota highlander drivers side sun visor fell down when hitting a small pothole, obscuring driver vision... Narrowly averting a collision with oncoming vehicle before i could get it pushed back up into place, whereupon it fell again and i had to swing it out of the way to drive home... No friction to hold it up out of the way.... Called dealership... Sorry... 600 dollar replacement w/ homelink.. No other fix available... Definite design, absolute safety flaw...

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.
