I was not notified of a recall for a condition that allows the key to be removed with the transmission still in drive. I have experienced several events when I turned off the vehicle, removed the key and it started to roll away due to the transmission being in drive.

Loud knocking heard from front right of vehicle. Toyota service department determined cause to be a bad cv joint. Additionally, during a routine engine oil change, I discovered an unusually large amount of beading sludge that had to be removed by hand to drail and fill the oil. I have read reports of the Toyota engines producing sludge and I would like to know how I go about getting this fixed on their recall if one occurs.
