Description of the problem	I have been having some misfiring spark plugs on my truck. We are pricing them out and are finding out that they are very hard to replace and they break off inside the engine! Dealers do not recommend replacing them yourself and it costs $300 to have them do it, then $100 for every spark plug that breaks during that process, plus the $19 for each motorcraft brand plug! This could cost us up to $1500 just to replace spark plugs?! This is insanity!!! Not only does it build up carbon but it is also a 2 piece plug and it breaks apart! This needs to be recalled! People are spending a fortune just to replace spark plugs! Its sick!

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.
