Description of the problem	I work out of a 2007 toyota matrix. The hatchback lid is used quite often. The lid has been going up slower and less high over the past few months. This week i opened the lid and the gas struts failed. I could have had my head taken off if i was leaning inside the vehicle. Is it normal for the struts to fail so quickly? Shouldn't there be a safety to keep it from falling on someone? My dealer said he never had this complaint before but i have a 2006 toyota sienna that had a recall of it's power gas struts due to premature failure.

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.
