Description of the problem	At about 30,000 miles while on a highway my jeep suddenly smelled like it was burning and i lost acceleration on it. Took it to my life time mechanic and he told me that there was oil sludge everywhere on the engine. He changed the oil out, cleaned out the engine but didn't find any issues with the oil tank or hoses. A year later, now at 40,000 miles, my check engine light suddenly comes on. Mechanic reads a "misfire" error. He changes out all my spark plugs, the ignition coil and the plenum gasket. Cleans out the fuel injectors and the car is humming beautifully again. But 5 days later, again the check engine light comes on. Mechanic checks everything he did and can't find anything wrong. He researched and thinks it could be the exhaust valve seats being worn out. Recommends i take it to the dealership. Low and behold, they discover that a cylinder head needs to be completely replaced! Apparently an issue they keep encountering frequently in this model. I've seen it posted on a bunch of threads regarding jeeps. Thank goodness i was 4 days away from my 5 year warranty to expire when this happened!!!! I think there should be a recall on all the 2014 jeeps to make sure this issue is resolved once and for all. My vin did not show a recall per your system, but all 2014 jeeps should be checked since it's occurring so frequently, and people will be out of their warranty soon with that year's model.

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.
