Description of the problem	I have an audi a4 2008 that has a long standing oil consumption problem. The audi dealership in las vegas assures me it is normal for the audi turbo engines to require additional oil 'top offs' between the regular oil change intervals. I have owned several other (non audi) turbo engine automobiles, and i know this is not 'normal'. I have read many online forums on this topic, where the audi a4 owner was eventually informed the engine seals were bad, causing the oil consumption problem, but audi would not cover any costs to repair such on the 2008 a4 model. This vehicle has always used synthetic oil, which should only need oil replacing twice a year. But every 4 weeks the 'low oil' dashboard light illuminates, and i need to add another quart or two quarts. There is an audi design flaw on the a4 engine, otherwise it would not be burning through excessive oil the way it does.

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.

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