Description of the problem	I recently had a loud humming noise coming from the rear drivetrain of my 2008 toyota tundra at almost any speed and the sound was present regardless of turns or type of driving. I had noticed the noise for quite a while but it started to get so bad that you could feel a vibration in the floorboard. The truck only has 75k miles on it and it turns out the rear axle bearings have failed prematurely. This is a known issue to toyota (see tsb-0151-01) but after asking their dealership and calling their recall center, they refuse to assist financially with the repair, which was very expensive. I believe this is a safety issue on this vehicle, as the bearing could seize or come apart, potentially causing an accident. Please consider having toyota issue a recall. Also, please note there are quite a few complaints about this issue on online chat forums.

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.
