Description of the problem	I was backing out of a parking stall and turned the steering wheel sharply to the left and heard a breaking sound. When i put the car in drive, it would not move even though the engine was still running. I found that the front wheels were both pointed inwards (pigeon-toed) a severe amount. A flat-bed truck was called to take the car to the ford dealer for repairs. The report from the ford dealer is that an outer tie-rod end had broken completely through in what would be characterized as a brittle fracture. According to the dealer, there was a bright clean break not typical of a fatigue failure or a ductile failure.

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.
