Description of the problem	Re: 2006 toyota highlander hybrid 2wd suv 29,500 miles. Upon entering a highway i experienced total failure of the hybrid system in my suv, which slowly drifted to a halt, nearly causing several accidents. The nearest dealership replaced the inverter portion of the hybrid system. It was covered under warranty but i was told that had it not been covered it would have cost me between $9,000 and $10,000! Or about 1/4 the cost of the entire vehicle new!

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.
