Description of the problem	In october 2019 i took my car to hyundai to have them service for the engine and engine cooling recall. They replaced the part and i was on my way. I serviced my car regularly, and just two weeks after my last oil change i was driving 70mph down the highway and the car started sputtering and then completely died. Luckily i was able to get pulled over where i attempted to start it again and it made a loud knock and then wouldn't start. I had the car towed to a nearby mechanic who said the engine had a huge hole in it. I asked if it could be that the folks who changed my oil messed something up, but he said it was unlikely because there was oil in the engine and that it was more likely something faulty in the manufacturing of the car or potentially due to the recall service not being done properly. So i did some research and there are tons of other 2012 hyundai tucson owners who have experienced the same exact issue. I then saw there is a class action lawsuit for similar issues, however the 2012 models weren't included in the lawsuit. This is clearly something that hyundai needs to take responsibility for and include this model in the lawsuit, or at the very east make right and fix these engines at no cost and pay for the inconvenience and expenses incurred for rentals, towing, and time away from work.

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.
