Description of the problem	A relative of mine owns a 2006, bmw, x5, 3. 0i. I was thinking about purchasing this vehicle. I was told about, what i believe to be, a catastrophic mechanical failure. I was told that my relative entered the vehicle, started it, turned the steering wheel, but the tires did not turn. The car was towed to a bmw dealership for repair (the car was still under warranty). The dealership informed my relative that a "bolt" had broken in the steering mechanism; this prevented the wheels from turning. My relative told me that the dealership fixed the problem but never produced any paperwork documenting the vehicle repair. This peeked my curiosity, since i am a federal agent. Should this type of failure have been reported to your agency? If my relative had been driving the vehicle at the time of this mechanical failure, it would have probably caused a car accident and serious bodily injury or death.

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.
