Description of the problem	My entire breaking system went out while driving to work on a busy road, where i had to pull over to the side to see what was wrong, as i had never seen those five lights light up ever, as this is not a typical issue that would ever break without a manufacturing issue. I was never notified of a specific issue with certain 2011-2015 prius vehicles that are involved in a customer support program zjb. I have now paid $100 to toyota to diagnose this problem, which was not necessary, as it is obviously the exact issue (5 lights luminated) from the customer support program, and they have told me that i was not notified of the issue because my vin is not included in the program. It has been diagnosed with the exact break booster issue listed in the letter sent to other vin numbers. I drive children around in this car, and this issue is severe and should clearly be for a larger number of cars than they are admitting. I have now been told that they will not pay for the $3,000 in repairs because it is not included. This is unacceptable. This is a safety hazard on the road and unbelievable that i would pay extra money for a toyota because it is supposed to be a safe and reliable car, only to find out they will not admit when they have a widespread break manufacturing issue with their vehicles. My only recourse though toyota i am told is to make a case number and if my vin happens to be added to the list, they may reimburse me. This is unacceptable. Toyota needs to recall all vins for this issue, so consumers are aware that their breaks may fail at any moment.

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.
