Description of the problem	While traveling on a city road at about 25 mph, the right front wheel came off. I was towed to my mechanic for repair. Both the tow driver and my mechanic told me they had seen this previously in toyota tundra's. I later found that there was a recall (ssc 50 j) and, after email correspondence with toyota and dealership approval of the workmanship performed by my mechanic, applied for a refund of my expenses. When i was denied the first time, the service manager at hollywood toyota said that he would resubmit by fax, saying that he saw nothing more that the office could want and that he had submitted the toyota service order for his inspection of my truck, a service order which the office claimed they did not have. The claim was denied again, this time because i had no records of maintenance on or inspection of the faulty ball joints. (there is no way to maintain the ball joints, and there is no way to inspect them, as they are inside a rubber boot.) the denial also stated that my mechanic's invoice was missing detail, although did not state what detail was missing, even upon written request. Hollywood toyota's service manager said the detail on my invoice was greater than toyota itself provides and called someone up the line to find out what the issue was. He called more than once. No response. And, when there was no answer after two weeks, called again. Nothing. Note: if there is a way to attach, i would like to attach the full complaint i have written up and will be mailing to your offices.

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.
