Description of the problem	I was routinely emptying the trunk of my 2008 bmw 528i on august 1, 2009. I had to return to the cab and my right calf brushed against the exposed chrome tailpipes for no more than a second. The tailpipe was so hot, i got a second degree burn about 5 inches long. I went to the emergency room to have the wound dressed as it was blistering and i was concerned about infection. I have contacted bmw but they deny there is any danger. This injury could happen again to me or another party. See photos of injuries at bmwtailpipeburn. Blogspot. Com.

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.
