Description of the problem	Our daughter was driving our toyota pick-up when she smelled a gas oder. She immediatly pulled over and called her mother. Her mother insisted that she come home immediatly. Fortunately she was not far from home. Upon her arrival at home dad went outside to see what was the problem. Our neighbor came over and assisted in helping pin point the problem. There was not just a drip but a huge puddle of gas underneath the truck. We discovered a ruptured fuel hose coming from the gas tank. It appears that the plastic tab holding the hose in place chaffed a hole in it. I immediatly came inside and did some research on the internet and also called some local toyota dealerships. What i discovered was that toyota did have a recall on a hose on this vehicle but it was another hose in another location. At that point i ordered a toyota replacement gas hose from our local dealership. After waiting a week for a hose to be shipped, i picked up the part and installed it myself easily. The problem has been fixed and and no other problem since. I am a true toyota fan and presently own two. Toyotas has been in our family for the past 30 years. I typically do not complain but, due to all of the publicity of toyota's safety problems i feel it necessary to report this. Yes, it was an inconvenience, but my real concern is that this doesn't happen to anyone else. Gas was squirting within an inch of a hot exhaust system and could have easily resulted in a fire or an explosion. Thank you for hearing me out.

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.
