Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Received an important safety recall on 12/01/2017 regarding the pinion gear that may separate from the steering gear assembly causing loss of steering & result in a crash. I called immediately to set an appointment on 12/12/2017. I was called just 1/2 prior to my appointment to be told they do not have the tools to fix the problem. In fact, no kia dealership in the area has it. I am driving across the state of fl in a few days & am extremely worried since i will be driving at high speeds in traffic. So, kia alerts soul owners & fails to provide the means to fix the problem. I am told it will be several weeks before they have the tools needed to repair. My particular car has had a stiffness in turning the steering wheel a few times. I need my vehicle for this trip, but, will inquire about a loaner car. This is unacceptable.

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.
