Description of the problem	Had the fix for the 3rd recall of the rear lower suspension arms in june 2014. Both suspension arms now encased in epoxy and warning labels applied. Result of poorly engineered fix is the inability to maintain rear wheel alignment without full replacement of both suspension arms on every alignment. Toyota's fix has created undue burden of cost on owner to maintain proper alignment or forego alignment and have rapid wear of tires due to misalignment resulting in added expense of needing to replace tires more often in order to maintain safe driving. Search of the internet is finding other owners having same problem, i. E., bearing the cost for toyota's poor initial design and poorly thought out recall fix.

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.
