Description of the problem	Coming up to a stoplight the motor died and tried to restart it, but the starter would only click. Had the car towed to my home and called my mechanic. He told me to check if to see if i could turn the motor over by hand and it would not turn. Removed the oil pan and found a spun bearing on the #3 connecting rod. So far i have spent $1200 in parts to repair it as it is not covered by the factory warranty as i am the 2nd owner.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
