Description of the problem	My wife was slowing this car down to make a right turn on a busy expressway, after she made the turn, the engine suddenly shut off and the 'stop/start deactivated manually restart your car" light came on. The steering well was locked, the car dead on the street, the interior lights and radio were working normally, her seat belt was buckled, all doors were closed. Thankfully the other drivers did not hit our car, she was able to restart the car after 2 minutes and we drove home without further incident. The stop/start function often hesitated when i had driven the car but never shut down completely like this before.

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.
