Description of the problem	Van spontaneously began leaking oil. I brought it into the dealer and was told that it was the vvt1 actuator hose. Apparently this was part of a voluntary recall that toyota started in 2010 and i was never notified! I called toyota motor corporation and was told that this was in fact a defective hose but because it was not repaired prior to the 3/31/13 deadline that toyota would not pay for this defective hose to be replaced. I am certain that i was never notified of this voluntary and worry that many other 2008 sienna owners are unaware of this defective part and hence will not have this repaired. This hose is under pressure and if it goes completely car will spew oil everywhere and seize up! This is a potential fire and safely hazard!!! Toyota is very aware of this problem! In the end my dealer agreed to cover the cost of replacement, but i am forever dismayed at toyota's lack of concern for their customers! This was part of campaign recall 90k-2gr-fe v6 engine oil hose.

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.
