Description of the problem	I purchased a brand, new 2008 toyota yaris in march 2008 at valley toyota in hanson, california. I am the sole owner and the only driver. During the timeframe between january 11th to january 15th, 2011, the abs light and the brake lights came on repeatedly. As recommended by the manual, i parked the car until i could get an appointment with a servicing dealer. The automobile is only 2 years and 10 months in my possession and i still owe $13, 865. 00 on it. The mileage is 98% federal interstate miles. I paid $ 1,031. 84 on wednesday, 19th of january 2011 for 2 rear hubs and 2 skid control wires and had to return the car to the servicing dealer on saturday, january 22nd for remaining repair tasks which cost another $ 323. 75. In total i have paid toyota a grand total of $1,355. 59 to repair the abs wires and harness which were corroded according to the technicians. Once again, the car was purchased by me as a brand, new auto in march of 2008 with less than 89,000 miles (98% highway miles). To have paid $ 1, 355. 59 to toyota for the abs system is deployable as the company is aware of a seemingly systemic problem of corrosion with the abs on toyota yaris models dating back to 2007. My research shows that the company has only issued technical service bulletins to dealership service departments and not to customers in september 2007 and in june or july 2008. In view of previous recalls for other models, toyota has been extremely negligent and not responsible to my calls regarding this issue. As the servicing dealer has not been responsive or forthcoming regarding my inquiries, i don't know if the old parts are still available as of this writng (25th of january 2011).

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.
