Description of the problem	I received 2 safety recall notices on my rx8. I took the car to the dealer where i leased the vehicle and i thought they corrected and/or inspected the problem. Over the course of the past 60 days, the service i have received has been unsatisfactory and i have been lead to believe that the dealer may not have addressed the safety recall issues. (cracked ball joint and heat insulation). I have a check engine light problem and i think they don't know what to do, to the point they will replace the engine. This will inevitably cause my vehicle to lose value. *jb

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.
