Description of the problem	Recently i was driving my 2014 rav4 near downtown tampa on adamo drive and was taking a left turn, and suddenly i heard some kind of noise and felt like my vehicle went dead without any electrical power and it started reversing on it's own and spun to right. Fortunately since i was taking a turn i was hardy at a speed of about 10 mph and hence my front right passenger side door & head light etc. Got damaged and there was a very minimal damage to the front fender on the driver side of the vehicle behind our rav4. For the same reason none of us - either myself, my front co-passenger or the driver of the vehicle behind our rav4 were physically hurt and were very safe after this incident. The driver of the vehicle behind our rav4 informed that he heard a kind of strange sound and saw our rav4 reversing & turning right, and he moved away into the right lane. The police officer, who has come also informed that she has come across this kind of incidents with toyota vehicles recently, and did not give me citation after reviewing my incident free driving record and also she could not find reason for this freak incident which looks more like a mechanical defect of my rav4, and advised to take to toyota dealer for further investigation & resolution. On further research we found that there is a serious recall - "electrical power assist system" (eps) for 2014 rav4 which was identified & documented by toyota on 03/13/2015 but was not notified to the customers. We have contacted toyota company, complained about this incident, informed the recall and we are waiting for a response from toyota after a thorough investigation, computer data analysis from our rav4. I am herewith attaching the documentation for the recall. I am very much worried & concerned about this incident, since it is of very serious safety issue. Please review and reply as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

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.
