Description of the problem	My vehicle has had two failed alternators. The vehicle has less than 50000 miles. The first happened less than a year. It was replaced under the warranty. The 2nd was recently replaced via an extended service contract but still cost me $200 for the deductible and a battery that was ruined by the alternator. Each time i had a battery saver mode message, nothing about the alternator. The 2nd time i was traveling across country and the veichle started downshifting and all the dashboard indicators started randomingly lighting up like a pinball game. I was barely able to get the vehicle off the highway so i wound't get hit. I was also in a sparsely populated area and was lucky to get towed to a nearby dealership.

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.
