2012 Toyota PRIUS V Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	The abs brake pump experienced an "internal failure" at mileage of 113k. There is a customer service notice that covers 2012 toyota prius and prius plug in for the same issue regardless of mileage until 2019, and then up to 150k miles after that. However, my 2012 prius v was not covered. This abs brake pump just suddenly failed, there weren't any leading indicators. Toyota knows it supplied defective parts for the abs brake pump. There is already a lawsuit of other 2012 prius v owners complaining of the same. However, toyota has not corrected their service notice. They won't release the details of how they can justify coverage to all other 2012 prius, and prius plug-in, but not prius v. The repair is significant ~ $3,500. Also, last year my engine block was cracked and needed to be replaced. Thankfully, this happened ~ 80k miles, so it was still under extended warranty. But this failure was surprising for a toyota. I had wondered why i had to change the oil more quickly than the recommended 10k, i would change it every 5-7k, or at least have it checked. It seems they have the same issues with their 2020 rav 4s. I'm surprised they haven't fixed an issue from a 2012 vehicle yet by 2020.
