ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING CLAIM NO. 10451047. IN REVIEWING CLAIM I REALIZED THE SAFETY ISSUES NOT FULLY COVERED. A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE USING THIS VEHICLE. WHILE BRINGING BAGGED LEAVES TO TOWN RECYCLING AREA, A BAG FELL FROM THE TRUCK. MY SON AND I STOPPED IN THE ROAD TO RETRIEVE THE DEBRIS BEHIND THE TRUCK. WHILE RETRIEVING THE DEBRIS THE VEHICLE BEGAN BACKING UP AND ALMOST STRUCK US. I HAD TO RUN TO THE DRIVERS DOOR AND ENTER THE MOVING VEHICLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO PREVENT A CRASH. IT BECAME APPARENT THAT WHEN PLACED IN PARK THE SHIFTER MAY IN FACT BE IN REVERSE. THIS ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO MOVE UNEXPECTEDLY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS CAN NOT BE EASILY REPAIRED AS FAILURE OF THE FRAME WAS IDENTIFIED AS THE CAUSE FOR LOSS OF THE SHIFTER SUPPORT. THIS SERIOUS DEFECT CAN BE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS SITUATION OF THE VEHICLE BEING INADVERTENTLY IN REVERSE INSTEAD OF IN PARK! *TR

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/LINKAGE
THIS BRACKET COULD ONLY FAIL FROM DEFECT IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURE. IT IS THE PIVOT POINT FOR THE CLUTCH PEDAL SO IF IT BREAKS YOU CANNOT SHIFT GEARS BUT WILL REMAIN IN GEAR AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO NEUTRAL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART IF IT EVER FAILS AS IN THIS CASE IT IS A FAILURE IN DESIGN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE EQUIVALENT PART FAIL IN ANY VEHICLE REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR ABUSE. THE TOYOTA DEALER STOCKS THIS ITEM SO FAILURE CAN'T BE ALL THAT RARE. THIS COMPONENT IS MOST LIKELY USED IN TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUPS ALSO. THE DEALER ALSO STOCKS THE BRACKET OF SIMILAR FUNCTION FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL! ONCE MORE A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL. THE PROBABILITY OF DAMAGE FROM AN ACCIDENT TO THIS COMPONENT WOULD BE SMALL DUE TO IT'S LOCATION MOUNTED TO THE VEHICLE FIREWALL AND UNDER THE DASH. THE BRACKET I REMOVED HAS NUMEROUS STRESS CRACKS IN IT AND IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.*AK
