Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The right front lower control arm bolt broke off. I want to let you know before someone get hurt. Luckily I was pulling into my garage when it happened and not going down the highway at speed. Some thing needs to get done before someone gets hurt.”

NHTSA complaint #10457973, filed 2012-05, 20,000 miles

“The car started making a clucking sound on the pass side when the brake was applied . I inspected the vehicle and found the front r/s lower control arm vertical bolt had rotted out and snapped off. I went to Toyota and purchased two new updated bolts ( Toyota has a bulletin out for this defect ) I drilled out the old bolt and tried to remove it with an easy out ( I had already soaked the top of the bolt the day before with penetration oil ) the welded bolt in the sub frame broke off . I made a temp repair with washer and replaced the new bolt . …”
