Description of the problem	I have a loud knocking sound in the steering column of my rav4 when i make low-turn speeds. I have had the car at the dealer three times and they have not been able to identify the problem. However, among rav4 car owners this problem is very well identified, as you can see from this url: http://rav4world. Com/forums/viewtopic. Php? T=5820&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 that discussion thread alone has almost 150 messages on this topic, but most toyota dealers can't find or fix the problem. This seems like a real problem, and toyota should have a tsb out on this, but if they do, i can't find one. Because it makes a lot of noise it seems dangerous, but the dealer i've taken it to has said "don't worry, it won't get you in an accident or leave you stranded." if they can't identify the problem i don't understand how they can make that statement. Thank you. *jb

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.
