Description of the problem	On the freeway car engine made popping/banging noises followed by the whole dashboard lighting up and car completely shut off. Put car in neutral and coasted to an emergency pull off as there was no shoulder on the long bridge i was on. Cars swerved around me honking horns despite my hazards flashing. Tried restarting and it just made grinding noise and smoke. I had it towed to kia dealership where they said engine needed replaced. It only had 40,000 miles on it. They covered replacing the engine under warranty. The dealer tells me replacement engine has 12k/12mo warranty but if i am over that and as long as i got oil changes thru the dealership that it would still more then likely be covered under warranty because kia knows about the issues surrounding their engines. After they told me that i feel as the vehicle is very unsafe and might fail on the freeway again.

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.

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