Consumer Description

I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY ON MY 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS COMPONENT FAILURE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND WAS ACTUALLY COVERED IN A RECALL FOR 2006-7 MODELS. FOR REASONS UNKNOWN THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER 2008 EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME COMPONENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND TOYOTA SEEMS TO BE PASSING THE COST OFF TO THE CONSUMER.
