WE NOTICED A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR A 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA. IT WAS NOTICEABLE BEGINNING AT 20 MPH AND LEVEL OF NOISE INCREASED WITH SPEED. RESEARCHED INTERNET FOR RECALL PROBLEMS AND FOUND RECALL #02V074001 FOR HUB AND AXLE DEFECT. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER, WHO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL;, ONLY A SERVICE ADVISORY. WE PAID FOR REPAIRS. OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO THE VIN ALTHOUGH DEALER INSISTED HE COULD NOT FIND RECALL INFORMATION. . I HAVE ANOTHER TOYOTA COROLLA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FELT THAT THESE CARS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SINCE IT SEEME D TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG COROLLA USERS.*AK
