Description of the problem	After driving on the highway for about 10 mins, i was slowing down due to traffic ahead. When i went to apply the brakes, they felt hard to apply pressure and my car was not slowing down. I had to drive off the road to avoid hitting the car in front of me. After i was able to come to a stop, i was able to drive slowly off the highway to the off ramp i was near and to a nearby dealership. They informed me that my brake booster failed even though i had the brake booster recall performed on my vehicle previously. Since i already had the recall performed, the replacement of the brake booster was not covered. If i never had brought my vehicle in for the recall, the replacement would have been covered. Seems weird to reward people who don't bother to have the recalls performed on their vehicles. From the large number of similar complaints, it seems obvious that the previous recall didn't fix the underlying issue. Luckily there was an open off-road area for me to safely swerve onto to prevent injury to myself and the cars in front of me.

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.
