Description of the problem	Bright red "oil can" starts flashing on screen while on major highway. Made i home. The next day the car kept staling before i even left for work. Found out no oil was being distributed through the motor causing the engine to seize. Loud noise could also be the timing belt, which is a common problem in these vehicles. Now i have a car that is not paid off, and i can't drive. This is an absolute nightmare.

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.
