The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Tacoma. While attempting to make a left turn at 15 mph, the contact heard a popping noise coming from the front passenger side wheel. The tire detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and they stated that the ball joints failed, which caused the wheel to detach and the axle to fail. The insurance company inspected the vehicle and confirmed the ball joint failure. While the vehicle was being repaired, the insurance company notified the contact of NHTSA campaign id number 05V225000 (suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint). The manufacturer stated that the VIN was excluded from the recall. He believes that the recall should have included his vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 134,000.
