Description of the problem	I was driving on the right lane (the slow lane) of the freeway, going around 60-65 mph. Around 4:45 p. M on a clear day, i noticed a white sedan next to me starting to change lanes into my lane. It did not see my car, because i had to veer slight right to avoid being hit by the car. My car did not handle the sudden move well and immediately started to swerve left and right uncontrollably for 1-2 seconds. I could not regain control of the car even though both my hands were on the steering wheel, trying to straighten the car. The car then lost complete control and swerved/spun all the way left (imagine making a complete left turn on the freeway), into the 3rd lane. It continued going in a counter-clockwise direction until a white van ran into my car in the middle of the freeway, stopping the car in a head-on collision. The air bags popped, smoke started coming from the car. I was amazingly unhurt for the most part. I took my hands of the steering wheel and managed to open the driver seat door to exit the vehicle. The final position of the car was facing exactly the opposite direction of traffic. Several firefighters/paramedics arrived and proceeded to clean up the debris scattered around the roads and pushed the car to the side of the freeway. The car insurance company hired forensic engineers to reconstruct the accident and inspect the car for damages. Unfortunately, there was nothing conclusive to report (although the front rotors were suspect).

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.
