MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 TACOMA TOYOTA WITH101,560 MILES.  SINCE I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH, SINCE IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME, THERE WERE NO INJURIES, HOWEVER IF THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS, THE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY LOSING CONTROL AND LEADING TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE LOWER BALL JOINT REPLACED. I WENT TO THE DEALER WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED MY TRUCK, AND I WAS DISMISSED, WITH SERVICE MANAGER SAYING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THE FAILURE COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME. I DID HAVE TWO MORE CONTACTS WITH THIS DEALER (BOB SMITH TOYOTA IN LA CRESENTA) BUT NO HELP AT ALL. I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE IN TORRANCE, CA. AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO (I SPOKE WITH DAWN AND THE REFERENCE # IS 10021153 OF MY CALL). I DID MORE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY MODEL AND YEAR OF MY TRUCK FOR THE EXACT FAILURE THAT OCCURRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID# IS 05V225000 AND COVERS TOYOTA MODEL TACOMA FROM 2001 TO 2004. THE NHTSA ACTION # IS EA04024. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL IS THE \"COMPONENT FRONT CONTROL ARM LOWER BALL JOINT\". NEVERTHE LESS I WAS TOLD TWICE THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. SINCE THE RECALL IS LISTED BY NHTSA I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. ALSO, WHAT OTHER ACTION CAN I TAKE TO HAVE THE OTHER LOWER BALL CHECKED TO BE SURE IT IS SAFE, OR REPLACED IF NECESSARY. I AM RETIRED, AND I  NEED TO USE THIS TRUCK DAILY BUT FEEL VERY NERVOUS WHEN EVER I DRIVE IT. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"TACOMA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
