Description of the problem	Engine cut off without warning while car was moving in boulevard traffic, decelerating as i approached a turn into a shopping plaza. Oil light came on. Engine would not restart. Mechanic says there are loose little pieces of metal inside engine and that engine must be replaced. I have followed all manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
