Description of the problem	I recently had brake problems on my 2010 kia forte. It was not due to brake wear or any of the normal brake problems. The problem was all my brakes seized up and the rear ones in particular heated up to the point where they were close to failing. The dealer said it may have not occurred, if the car had been driven more miles daily yet no further information could be provided on the brake issue. I live in an area that has many classic cars and my wife? S own aunt owned a car even though she could not drive it in her later years, so it would be available to those who would drive her to appointments and elsewhere. As long as a vehicle is being driven daily, which this was, i don? T believe this potentially dangerous problem should have occurred. Kia motors also did not know why this happened and could provide no explanation. I am writing to you because of my concerns of possible brake failure and that the brake parts supplied on the kia apparently do not contain any anti-corrosive materials of any type and the intense heat caused my brake fluid to become contaminated. From service order: customer states when driving sometimes right and left wheel breaks get very hot; inspected front and rear brakes found pads are stuck in the anchors and needs slide service while performing service found rear pads got so hot they are separating and need to be replaced; performed front and rear caliper slide service and replaced rear pads all working as intended at this time. Flush old fluid from system, check linkage and hoses, bleed air from system, road test; performed brake fluid flush as needed, flush contaminated fluid, installed fresh fluid and bled system as required, road tested ok

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.
