Description of the problem	Catastrophic engine failure on a 2012 tucson with only 80k miles. The vehicle was regularly serviced. Heard a faint ticking coming from the engine while driving, and later that day, the engine blew. Apparently the theta 2 engine the vehicle uses is known for failure, but the hyundai dealership i took the vehicle to claimed only about 2% of these cars were affected, and i was just "unlucky". No warning lights, nothing. Was on the interstate during rush hour at the time of the incident, and was almost hit by multiple vehicles because of this.

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
