Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I am the original owner of a 2005 toyota matrix with 88k miles. The ecm in the vehicle(model 89661-01132) died. The dealer says this is a common problem with this series of ecm parts and they will install a new "updated" version (model 89661-02k41) for a mere $650. From searching online it appears to be a fairly widespread problem among toyota matrix owners and yet toyota has not issued a recall for these faulty ecms and the dealer is refusing to replace ecm outside of the federally mandated warranty period. All auto manufacturers are required by the epa to warranty ecms to 80k miles but this is obviously a huge problem and toyota is failing to take responsibility for a shoddy batch of ecms.

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