Description of the problem	While driving home, i heard a muffled knocking noise coming from engine when accelerating. At the next traffic light, i waited for the light to change, and when i started moving i realized the engine did not start from the hybrid. As i dangerously maneuvered the car across the right lane, i was able to pull over to a safe spot and the warning chime came on saying i had low voltage in hybrid battery. Had car towed home and then to hyudai dealer. They notified me that the engine was seized due to poor maintenance, which was ridiculous. Oil has always been changed by me or a regular garage. After viewing other comments by people who had the same exact problem i realized that this was apparently an ongoing problem with the sonata hybrid engine. Still trying to get dealer to replace engine.

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.
