Description of the problem	I have a 2008 toyota rav4 and at the time of the issue it had approximately 150k miles. While the vehicle was moving a growling/whirring noise started to come from the rear of the vehicle. It increased in frequency and volume over time. After replacing both rear wheel bearings it was determined by a toyota dealership that the problem was with the rear differential coupler/bearing. I was notified that a warranty replacement for this exact issue expired in november of 2017. The problem with my vehicle was noticed in october of 2018. This is a very expensive repair that thousands of rav4 owners have had to pay for out of pocket. The defective bearing needs to be replaced under a recall as they will not get any better and toyota has already admitted the part is faulty by issuing the warranty replacement. Toyota must be held accountable for their defective parts and a recall must be issued.
