Description of the problem	2005 f150 supercrew 4x4 lariat; with a 5. 4 3 valve/cylinder engine; check engine light came on and indicated cylinder 5; mechanic went to pull the plug which broke in two with the bottom part still in the block. Had to have it towed to a ford dealer; $150 to remove the plug plus $29 parts and labor. Plug has a design flaw that ford has known about since at least 1997. For most triton egnine owners, you find out the hard way when the engine light comes on or when you go in for a tune up; minimum cost $150; for every broken plug - $150 to remove it; if it can not be removed, the engine and/or front end has to be pulled (per ford repair bulletin) to remove the head(s). Cost: $1,000 - $3,000. Most vehicles are "out of warranty" by this time which ford then dismisses as not a "warranty problem" but rather a "service issue". The dealerships make a killing off the customers because of an inept, incompetently designed spark plug. Ford has known about this problem since the late 1990s but refuses to do anyting as the ntsb has done nothing to issue a recall. Duh

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.
