Description of the problem	Rotting subframes, front and rear. Engine drain drips onto front subframe, keeping the subframe wet and causing it to rust out. Jeep recalled the 2007 model year to replace the subframes but not the 2008 year, yet the design flaw persists. Rotting subframe caused vehicle to fail annual nh state inspection. Vehicle was built and sold in what chrysler calls a "rust belt". So, chrysler confirms the problem but only fixes it for 2007, not 2008.

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.
