'''Engine failure''' is a term used to describe an event when an [[engine]] of some kind ceases to work correctly. The term can apply to either non life-threatening failure (such as the failure of a [[lawn mower]] engine) or a life-threatening failure (failure of an [[aeroplane]] or [[helicopter]] engine). Some causes of engine failure can include:
*Human error
*Missing/damaged components
*Use-up of fuel (for fuel-powered engines)
*Exposure to the elements/unsatisfactory conditions (in some cases [[rust]] can be formed, a known trigger of many failures)
*Overuse
