Description of the problem	With only 46000 miles, i heard a sound, and like everyone else who has posted this problem, no power steering, everything lite up on dash panel. The crank shaft pulley bolt was broken. I was able to get it to a mechanic, he replaced the bolt. Then 3 days ago, the same thing!!! I have had problems with the break lights burning out at least every 3 months-clock changes time. Three years ago the air condition failed, after much debate, kia fixed it.

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.
