Description of the problem	Parking/emergency brake became inoperative. Investigation revealed that both brake cables had corroded such that they no longer had freedom of movement at the cable end where they entered the backing plates. When i purchased replacement cables toyota service technician commented that this was a common problem on rav 4, tacoma, and other (don't remember) toyota vehicles. When i purchased & examined replacement cables during repair it was apparent that new cable design was significantly different in exactly the place where old cables had failed. This was a safety problem during time period when brakes were inoperative and clearly a significant design flaw. It was ~ $400 in parts + my labor tp replace the cables as part of repairing the emergency/parking.

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.
