Description of the problem	Timing chain failures at a relatively low mileage, between 50000 to 60000 miles which is unheard of , it makes the vehicle stall , ours did in the busiest part of wichita fall tx . Which is very dangerous , and im being told this is a common failure on these vehicles , timing chains should last a whole lot longer than that and its going to get someone killed , ive asked chevorlet if the new parts are an upgrade to fix the problem but no one can give me an answer so im probably going to get rid of the car which we love except for that issue.

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.
