Description of the problem	Excessive engine oil consumption. Did oil consumption test at toyota and they said there's no problem but still oil runs dry after 3k miles. Took it to another non toyota service center for second opinion and was told that i had two options: to replace the entire engine at a cost of $5k or to live with it and check oil level weekly and refill it yourself if oil level is low. Also recommended using 10w40 oil due to high mileage. I chose the latter and so far going good. Really not happy with toyota dealers response as they were hesitant to help and kept telling me to change the entire engine that would cost me $$$ since my warranty expired.

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.

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