Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving on interstate at 60 mph loud sound from engine and all power lost. Was able to pull over to shoulder and dip stick showed no oil in engine. Oil just change by two months prior by kia dealership. Looked under car and pool of oil. Had to have vehicle towed to dealership and was informed the engine blew and it was not covered under manufacturers warranty as we purchased this vehicle used from the dealership and the warranty is not transferable. The vehicle had 70,000 miles and the engine blew. So much for a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty when kia does not transfer the warranty to a vehicle they sell at the dealership. Its called a manufacturer warranty not a owner warranty. Kia needs to step up and take responsibility for the faulty engines they have used. The dealership even admitted this was a engine failure and not owner failure. I have owned 4 kia's and will never own another one.

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.
