Description of the problem	On 2007 and 2008 toyota rav4 vehicles, the steering intermediate shaft and steering gear assembly fail. Toyota has a technical service bulletin that describes the fix: tsb 0318-08 rev1. Drivers will begin to feel a "thunk" in the steering column, and my mechanic (at a toyota dealership) informed me this would become a safety problem if left unfixed. This does not appear to be caused by any kind of driver error. Rather, it is a design flaw in the steering components. On my 2007 rav4, this problem began at around 55,000 miles, and was fixed per the technical service bulletin referenced above.

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.
