Description of the problem	Water pump leak i believe started around 21,000 miles. Along with the replacement of front brake pads i complained of right front side of car with squealing noise possible drive belt or dirty rotor. At one point both front rotors slightly warm to touch after 45 min city drive home, another time right rotor hot and left slightly warm. They replaced front brake pads not checking calipers or hose and just put on brake pads and said right tire worn and replaced both and said it will solve the problem. After a few days toyota rep and told him the said intermittent squealing somewhat grind noise was back. Not taken seriously i reported to corporate and went to another dealer to do diagnostic checking calipers and found nothing. Around 50,000 miles i found powder next to drive belt.

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.
