Description of the problem	The timing chain skipped or broke which caused a failure. It could not be determined if the timing chain was the first to fail or if something else (tensioner failure) caused the timing chain to break as a result. This resulted in the vehicle being towed to the dealer since it was not safe to drive. I was lucky this occurred when the vehicle was idling in a turn lane. While idling, the vehicle started shaking rather violently fore/aft. I immediately pulled of the road and turned off the vehicle.

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.
