Description of the problem	I was driving the truck at about 45 mph when i felt the engine "missing". I rolled down my window and could hear the engine missing and running very rough. I was about 30 seconds from my house, so i continued. Right before i got to my house i shut off the engine and coasted into my driveway. I tried cranking the truck the next morning and it idled rough for about 10 seconds and then the engine failed. I towed it to the ford dealership where they diagnosed that it hydrolocked. There was a lot of gas and water in the oil pan (the entire coolant system had dumped there). It was then that i found out that there was a recall on 2005 f150's for the same problem, a faulty fuel injector that caused hydrolocking. I called ford and asked if i was covered under this recall since i had the same part. They informed me it was only for 2005, not for 2004 regardless of the part #. They offered me no help since my truck was at 72k miles. The truck was impeccably maintained with the oil being changed every 3k miles.

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.
