Description of the problem	Steering intermediate shaft noise i own a 2006 toyota rav4 and now has about 65000 miles. There is a noticeable clunk noise (and feeling) while steering when the car is moving. The noise seems to be more evident in warmer days (summer time) and diminish during winter months. Toyota has issued a tsb (toyota service bulletin): st001-08 so they acknowledge that this is a common problem. Since this issue has been reported significantly, this tsb should be part of a recall. I do not wish to pay for a service for a problem that toyota new about since the beginning. We should not carry the burden of paying for toyota's incompetence in manufacturing safe vehicles.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
