Description of the problem	Well maintained vehicle with approximately 81,000 miles when the rod bearing broke. Bmw has a record of rod bearing failures and recalls. Bmw is not helping in my case and from my research there has been rod bearing failures in the same year and model as mine. I was driving when i heard knocking in the engine. I pulled over, had to be towed ajd bmw said the rod bearing went. They said it just went. Plenty of oil in the engine so it wasn't that. I was going about 60 mph when all of this happened

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.
