Description of the problem	My 2017 kia sorento has had repeated oil leaks due to multiple oil pressure switch assembly failures. At 27,000 miles my kia experienced a significant oil leak (identified by me due to the strong smell of oil burning coming from the a/c.) kia replaced the oil pressure switch part #94750-37100 at that time. Again at 60,000 this same part failed (again identified by the strong smell of burning oil coming from the engine) and once again kia replaced the oil pressure switch (part #94750-37100.) having the same part fail twice in 60,000 and having oil leaks repeatedly is not only a fire hazard (i would point you to a similar problem you forced gm to perform a recall in 2015) but this could severely shorten the life of the car engine as well.

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.
