File date	02/07/08

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Right passenger front row window motor stopped working for no apparent reason. This window was rarely used so it was very surprising. No longer under warranty. Cost $345. 36 to fix. Was fixed because of fear of not being able to exit vehicle in case of a crash. Toyota says 2004 is not part of current recall for window motors but definitely seems like the recall should be expanded because had same problem happen again on the 2nd row passenger side window motor on july 09. Suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason and again this window barely used. Could not afford to fix so it is stuck in up position. Have contacted toyota and hoping they will expand recall to 2004 highlanders. I hope all toyota owners will report window motor problems and any other electrical problems to both the nhtsa and toyota.

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.
