Description of the problem	I have a 2008 toyota tundra. The secondary air pump failed on my vehicle. I took it to the dealer and was told i would be $3500 to repair. This is known problem with the tundra. I was told by the dealer that toyota had extended the warranty for this but it expired after 10 years or 150,000, i have 121,000. When the pump fails it causes the vehical to go into limp mode. I ran a errand today and the truck ran fine. I went to the store and returned to the truck. I started it and the the vsc light and check engine light came on. As i headed into traffic the vehical would not accelerate to keep up with the traffic and almost got rearended. Toyota should of had a recall on this because it is a safety feature and could cause a serious accident. This air pump is installed on tundras and other models. I bought this truck new in 2008 and have serviced it on the mfg schedule. Since this was a known problem toyota should have replaced the pumps during regular maintenance instead of not doing nothing and hope it does not occur. Even if i replace the pumps what says it won't happen again. I lost confidence in my truck and am afraid it might happen again.

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.
