Description of the problem	There is i recall on the same year make and model of my car except the engine they say is the or cylinder and not the 6 but i have had a blown head gasket since i bought a car from a dealership certified pre owned and still paying on it however my call gets so hot that i have to pull over a lot to let it cool off and i put alot of money in antifreeze and water. They will not work with me at kia dealership they are saying theres no recall on the v6 only 4 cylinder and i dont have $3200. 00 to just pay for it to be done. Because of the same side of the head gasket being blown as the recall on the 4 cylinder as for that the recall is made because of catching fire because the head that is blown in the recall is same one as mine against the fire wall and it gets super hot like it's gonna catch fire at your feet on the inside like the 4cylinders

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.
