Description of the problem	I hydroplaned and swerved across the street in the oncoming lane and spun out and went up a ditch and hit a tree. I was ejected from the car (i was wearing my seat belt) and my seat back broke and i was ejected out of the car through the passenger's back seat door - i broke the door with my back going through it. I fractured a vertebrae in my back and had extensive bruises everywhere and a hairline fracture in my left arm. I would not have been so severely hurt had my seat not broke and i was ejected. The side passenger air bag deployed but not the driver's side. I was told i would not have been hurt as severely had i not been ejected. I missed almost 3 weeks of work and now wear a back brace and am in constant pain.

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.
