Description of the problem	Hello, i had received a recall notice on apr. 24th, 2019 in regards to my vehicle. It indicated that they are having safety recall on the engine which is causing abnormal engine combustion. On apr. 4th, 2019 my car broke down on the freeway. When i had got it diagnosed the repair man showed me a picture of a hole in my motor due to overheating. On apr. 24th, 2019 i called kia and they had my car towed to my local kia dealership. 2 days later i receive a call from the dealership stating my repair has been denied due to my car being out of warranty. Never on my letter did it indicate my car needed a warranty nor did they mention that it was needed when they towed my car to the dealership. I am extremely upset, not only is my problems not being addressed but nor has my safety. I should be treated with car considering my engine busted and i had a great chance of my car catching on fire. Not only that but how am i supposed to replace an engine if all of the engines are having abnormal combustion? This is so disappointing and i will take legal matters if not addressed. They are now stating i have to pay to get my car towed back to my apartment and i am furious. Please help me. I can be reached at [xxx] or by calling [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *tt

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.
