Description of the problem	I was told the timing belt tensioners needed to be replaced. It only has 60,800 miles on it. The dealer quoted me 1400. 00. There is a high pitched whine from the engine, most noticeable at low speeds. The vehicle runs ok but i'm afraid if the tensioners fail, so will the timing belt and so will the engine.

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.
