Description of the problem	On may 28, 2019, i made an appointment with my mechanic as a result of my abs brake light appearing on the dashboard of my 2013 kia sorrento with a little over 57,000 miles. I was given an appointment date of thursday, may 30th and did not utilize the vehicle except to drive it a short distance to the mechanic's location. An hour or so after dropping off the car, my mechanic called to indicate that diagmostic tests had confirmed what he had suspected, that my right rear abs brakes(also referred to as the rear wheel spin/part of the hub bearing) was defective and had to be replaced to the tune of about $550. 00. He also mentioned at this time that there was a service bulletin out on this make and model, as a result of water getting into the wheel bearing causing this problem to occur pretty consistently. I called my local kia dealership located at 9009 w broad st in richmond va, and spoke to a service manager. I explained that i was aware that there had yet to be a recall on any vehicles but that numerous blogs, and forums touting this exact problem in addition to the service bulletin seemed to indicate this was a design flaw in their vehicles. I was told he was unaware of any complaints from other customers and that service bulletins were merely a diagnostic tool to assist mechanics and since my car was no longer under warranty, and despite the very low mileage, the most i could expect was to make an appt with their service department. I politely declined. When picking up my vehicle the next day, i questioned my mechanic about the true nature of service bulletins and he admitted that yes, ostensibly, they were circulated to assist in diagnosing particular issues, but, they were also frequently indicative of ongoing problems that often resulted in future recalls. I would suggest that kia be persuaded to look into this one!

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.
