Description of the problem	I was on my way home from work, less than 2 miles from home. I stopped at a stop light and noticed smoke. I didnt' know it was my car at the time. I drove a half a block and my car filled up with smoke. I immediatly pulled over and a person behind me stopped and told me she saw flames from my car. I had immedialtly turned my car off as soon as i parked it, so i did not see the flames. An additional man drove up and said he had seen the fire also. Oil had poured out from under my car. I had just had my first oil change on monday aug 23rd. I have approximatly 5500 miles on the vehicle. It is a 2004 honda crv. My dealership (chezic sayers) had the vehicle towed by campus towing. The tow truck driver told me that that was the third crv that he had towed with fire damage in the last 3 months.(his name was phil) i think there should be a recall if this has happened this many times. I also looked up on the internet and it said that there had been 27 fires linked to oil changes in this vehicle. I find that appalling. I could have been seriously hurt! As of right now, i am not sure of the cause because it was after 5pm by the time the dealership looked at the car. They said they would call me tomorrow. I am assuming someone will call me to find out what the exact problem was and to find out how it was handled.*ak

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.
