Description of the problem	The ecu on my 2006 toyota matrix died suddenly, after the ecu failed the car to halt immediately. Luckily for me this did not happen on a freeway , in which case i would have been rear ended and possibly seriously injured. When my car was towed into the dealership , the tech at the service desk guessed that it was the ecu as he had seen quite a few of these fail. After tests they determined it was the ecu. The ecu was replaced by the dealer as it was under warranty.

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.
