Description of the problem	On 12/27/2018 the rear lower control arm assembly (right) fractured on my 2013 nissan altima. This is similar to the nhtsa action number pe18013. I was driving to a destination near my home. As i was nearing my destination i noticed the car handling unusually, with a slight sway. As i parked my car i thought i had pulled up too far and put it in reverse to back up. I heard a loud sound and walked around the car to notice the rear right wheel resting high in the wheel well. I elected to have the vehicle towed to the nissan dealership for repairs. The tow operator showed me what had happed once it was on the flatbed and he stated that mine was probably the third one he had towed and maybe there was a recall. The next day the service center called and confirmed that the right rear lower control arm had broken. The vehicle was repaired that day and an inspection of the left rear lower control arm was performed and showed no compromised integrity. Upon taking delivery of the car i also took delivery of the broken parts and have included pictures of the compromised area, which are attached. It appears that the partial penetration weld was compromised and caused the thinner of the two joined material to fail.

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.
