Description of the problem	This is approximate for the dates but if further proof is needed then i am on top of it! Now matter at hand... I dropped my 20011 kia sorento base xl, aka ms silvia, off to the kia dealership, original owners of ms silvia, for the 2nd (second) time for brake issues. 1st (first) time, around 10-12 ms silvia got new calipers and master cylinder and the date was about 2 (two) mths before this time, which ms silvia has been in the kia hospital/service dept since 12-21-12 for the 2nd (second) time for the very same reason... Calipers and master cylinder replaced. Dealership says, "... Bad parts...." i am very worried since a recall was issued through your organization back in nov 2010 for calipers for this very make, model & yr, this was never brought to my attention, by the dealership, till i did some snooping this time on my own. And wow... All i want is a dependable & safe vehicle to conduct my life. I am in fear this could happen again and wondering if others are suffering in silence and if this needs to be researched again... Please help me in the mean time i am letting my car insurance carrier know about this issue also, just in case ms silvia can't do what's required of her for me on a daily bases and maybe involves others of innocence.... I am scheduled to pick up ms silvia up today... Crossing my fingers that ms silvia is in good working order.... Help please...

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.
