Description of the problem	June 16, 2018 i'd stop at a gas station to fill up i was inside the station for about 20 minutes playing lottery for the next morning, i only explaining for time line. Came out to pump gas and noticed my engine was smoking and i haven't been driving long, i just left a water front park which is about 5 minutes away. Well the smoke smells like burning wires but no fire just heavy smoke so i let it cool down. And the truck was dead nothing no power when the tow truck finally showed up some 10 hours later, and tried to jump start the truck it was draining the jump box. So i end up taking my jeep to a after market repair shop and his diagnosis was that my alternator had burned up. So once i'd replaced the alternator the truck still wouldn't take a charge. After doing further research come to find out there was a recall on my alternator issue but for some reason my vehicle vett my vehicle was not on the list my vin number is not part of the recall list mind you i bought my vehicle use i'm the second owner is a canadian vehicle but i brought it in the in michigan from a auto broker.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
