Description of the problem	During the time of purchase, around november of 2018, for the vehicle at a kia dealership, i informed the seller to check for any recalls that will need to be addressed before purchase. However, the seller mentioned to be that recalls were checked, and i didn't bother to get a written statement from the seller because i guess i was too anxious to drive the car. I was informed via outside sources and google of a recall for this vehicle, relating to the catalyst system. Having no check engine light and in may of 2019, i decided to take my vehicle to the kia dealer to have the recall addressed (see invoice statement attached). The dealer completed the recall and returned my vehicle to me. I drove the vehicle for many miles as an uber driver partner, after the completed recall. In october of 2019, the vehicle's check engine light illuminated while driving. I immediately took it to an auto parts store to scan the code. The scan data displayed the code p0420, catalyst system operating below minimum threshold bank 1. The current milage is 93, 700, and is running fine. I am concerned about the code in proportion to the recall that is in bulletin. I don't want to take it to the dealer without first checking my options with the nhtsa. Please advise, i appreciate your business. Thank you.

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.
