Description of the problem	Our jeep is out of date for warranty, but under 36,000 miles. We took it in for an oil change and was subsequently told that the ball joints needed to be replaced. This is absurd for a vehicle of this low mileage. We were told that "jeep" knows there was a problem, and has since corrected it in newer models. This is a safety issue...!! So why isn't there a recall for it...? Why do i have to carry the financial burden of a design flaw...? I've read over a dozen other's identical complaints, and that's only from those who contacted nhtsa. There must be a better response from jeep. Isn't jeep the all american vehicle...?

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