Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 kia sportage brand new, i take very good care of it. Currently i have 55,000 miles on it, last week the abs, parking brake and esc lights came on. I immediately took it to the dealer they ran a diagnostic test $90. 00. I was told the hydraulic assembly needs to be replaced, est cost of $2,311. 25 and that my car is now unsafe to drive. Was told that it was not covered under warranty and informed me that this was unusual. Therefore my concern is should this be a recall item?

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.
