Description of the problem	We were driving straight on i-95 at 70 mph when we heard some loud noises and the car started swerving (between exits 65 and 71 in nc). We thought the tire blew out, but then we saw smoke in the rear window. We managed to pull to the side of the road and saw some oil leaking in the bottom. We opened the hood and smoke was coming out. The outside of the tail pipe was completely black. We had the vehicle towed to a toyota dealership and were informed that the engine was blown. A piston drove through the engine block.

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.
