<p>I don't know for defective.</p>
<p>for these two words, the result may be the same.</p>
<p>But "défectueux" is for a not perfect thing, There is a defect somewhere.</p>
<p>and défaillant is for something with a breakdown.</p>
<p></p>
<p>for example, the titanic had "des rivets défectueux" these rivets had a lower quality.</p>
<p>when the motor is "défaillant" the car doesn't start. maybe the motor is broken, and maybe a piece in the motor is "défectueuse"</p>
