Description of the problem	I detect a noise coming from the motor and went to service department of the dealer on january 14, they make a test drive and said that maybe the problem is with a "lifter" they gave me an appointment for service for the 28 of january. On january 22 i left my car at the service department a few days later, when i call for information they told me that the manufacturer decide to replace the complete motor due to a "recall" for some defectives on the unit that were posted.
