Description of the problem	My 4x4 toyota tundra crewmax with the 5. 7l engine was diagnosed with a cam tower leak with only 15,000 miles on it. Fortunately the vehicle was still under the factory power train warranty. Toyota made the repair and provided a rental car for me. I have heard this is a common problem with the 2012-2013 5. 7l engine and i want this issue to be more public. I worry owners of this vehicle will be stuck with the $2,300-$3,000 bill to fix their own vehicle if their vehicle's power train warranty has expired. I also worry the engines could leak oil onto the exhaust manifold and catch fire.

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.
