Description of the problem	Oil cooler hose: from my experience, and from what i've read from others, this is a considerable safety issue. A recall would be very appropriate for both road safety and for consumer protection. A suspected blown cooler line just happened to me last night, and i was very distracted when i realized my 2011 toyota sienna (about 125k miles) went from providing normal responsiveness to giving incomprehensible feedback within seconds. A "low oil" message flashed once on the center console as i was pulling out of a gas station into traffic. This light did not return. No other lights lit up at any time. Immediately, however, i noticed hesitation when trying to accelerate. I thought that it was an electrical problem at that point, perhaps it was affecting the fuel injectors. Then i noticed a clicking noise coming from the engine. At that point, i pulled over at the next safest opportunity and turned off the vehicle. I popped the hood and noticed oil everywhere toward the bottom of the engine compartment/underside of the vehicle. The dip stick was dry. This all happened within 0. 75 miles on a two lane state highway (one lane in each direction) with a 55 mph speed limit. I certainly wasn't driving defensively during this time, and i had very minimal awareness of any vehicles around me. The acceleration issue could have been catastrophic if i had tried to beat traffic that was far enough away to proceed, yet close enough to think twice. Fortunately, i'm not an aggressive driver, and i waited. The whole experience has baffled me as i've never experienced such a complete and sudden failure while driving a vehicle. Please consider this report and review the numerous online reports from drivers who also experienced a sudden, massive oil leak while driving their 2007-2011 toyota siennas. Toyota is well aware of this recurring issue. A safety recall would seem appropriate.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
