I'd talk to a lawyer. I doubt your insurance company will do anything and if you talk to them first you might say something that will kill your lawsuit. My guess is you would be suing the manufacturer. Which is pretty tough. But there might be a class action suit if others have gotten into accidents. That would take years, but it could be the only way you'll get anything out of a big auto company.

you took responsability at the time as your distance from the vehicle in front must have been wrong if you mentioned at the time a problem with the brakes then you should notify the insurance company who will require a report on the recall if its found that the brake fault contributed to your accident you would be entitled to reclaim your no claims bonus from the insurers who in turn would claim from the manufacturer.

Definitely inform your insurance company, as they paid for the auto repair. You would need to ask an attorney about suiing unless you were physically harmed in the accident.

Tell your insurance company you might get some compensation from the automobile maker but be prepared to still pay .. when you slam into someone from the rear your always at fault.
