Description of the problem	My wife had a flat tire when she had help to get it changed there was no spare tire so the person left because he could not do any thing. That left my wife and my little girl alone on a road in the middle of no where for 4 hours until i could get there and pick them up . I called kia and they said they dont put spare tires in there cars any more the government should make them put them in because it is dangerous for people to be stranded in middle of no where . When i bought the car no body told me there was no spare in the 2012 kia optima. If i knew i would not have bought it. *js

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.
