Description of the problem	I was traveling north on sr 73 in california at approximately 65 mph. The right front lower ball joint on my 2004 toyota tundra snapped, which caused the right front wheel to fold under the frame of the vehicle. I lost control momentarily, but was able to regain control and guide the vehicle to the right shoulder. The ball joint failure also severed the brake lines, leaving me with no stopping ability. I resorted to the mechanical parking brake to stop my truck. My 2004 tundra was towed to longo toyota in el monte california where it sits. I have contacted the toyota corporate hq, but was told that my tundra was not included with the 775,000 other tundras that were recalled for faulty lower ball joints. As of this time, the defective parts are still on the vehicle at longo. *nm
