Description of the problem	I pulled my truck out of the garage (it was backed in) and when i approached the street applied the brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor and the truck barely stopped before entering the street. (driveway was luckily on flat terrain) i checked the brake reservoir and it was almost empty. Filled up reservoir, pumped brakes to get stiff pedal and checked for leaks. Could find none so drove truck on about 5 mile roundtrip. Pulled truck out the next day and reservoir was again empty but could find no fluid on concrete in garage. Filled reservoir & brought to my mechanic. He found that the booster pump was leaking into the master cylinder which was why there was not fluid on the concrete. He had to replace the entire unit since toyota does not sell the components separately. This could have been disastrous under different circumstances. The brakes had worked perfectly fine the previous time the truck was driven. In fact it was driven over 250 miles on a hunting trip through roads that ran along cliffs. If the brakes had suddenly failed just 4 days earlier, someone could have died.

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.
