 Description of the problemBoth rear stabilizer bar connector links snapped off toward the bottom of each link right above the threaded portion indicating that is a weak area. This was not due to rusting, the links just snapped off in the same location. I worked for another dealership in the same dealer group as a service manager and the staff there told me that this is a product problem and they had replaced at least 55 pair of these links. I called toyota customer service to request a goodwill repair authorization and the first question they asked me was if i had the vehicle serviced at the dealership. I said no because as a former technician, i do all my own vehicle maintenance. They said they could not help because of that. This involves a known product problem that they would have taken care of thru what all manufacturers call "hidden warranty" if i had allowed the dealer to service the vehicle. This is discriminatory and should have been taken care of more importantly because it is a safety issue affecting the suspension and vehicle handling. I noticed the problem last fall when the vehicle starting making a clunking noise in the rear and handled sloppy in the rear suspension. You have had a number of other reports as well on this specific problem.

  • 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.
