1 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2014

My manual transmission failed this evening. Fortunately I was only an eighth of a mile from home and was able to use my momentum to safely get off the road. I heard a loud pop, then the clutch began to grind horrifically. I was able to bring the car to a stop, but unable to shift out of neutral. The front axle is completely siezed, and the car is inoperable. I had the car flatbeded to my mechanic, the flat bed driver had to winch the vehicle on to the truck. My mechanic took one look and informed me that I will need to replace the clutch and manuel transmission and that this is a known issue with 2003 and 2004 Toyota Corollas. Why was no recall or consumer notice issued for this manual transmission failure? I had my coworker in the car as well.
