Description of the problem	My 2005 toyota highlander master brake cylinder looks to be leaking near the brake booster. I know that it was replaced by toyota dealer under nhtsa campaign number: 10v499000. However i do not remember the year. I was driving on local streets, when i stepped on the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor. The next time i tried to step on the pedal it was working ok. But then the 3rd time i stepped on the brake pedal it was going all the way to the floor again. This was a shocked since it got me to work 9 hours earlier with no issue. I got home and checked the brake fluid level and looked to be at the correct level. I did not drive until next day to take it to my local mechanic, who told me it was the master brake cylinder. He stated that there was a small leak inside the brake booster and needed to replace the whole master brake cylinder. It still is in the shop, however i remembered that it was "swapped out" with a new one under nhtsa campaign number: 10v499000. Could it be possible that the recalled for the new part is still doing the same thing? I would like to know if i can get replaced again under the recall, or have to pay the $550 for new part and labor. Thank you

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.

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