Description of the problem	I have a 2006 ford explorer xlt with the 4. 0 v6. I have the famous radiator problem that it seems 90% of 2006 owners have. Ford has issued a tsb, but no recall. I know people who have been through radiators every 5,000 miles. Mine didn't fail until about 75000 miles, but it still failed, spewing antifreeze all over the driveway, and causing a lot of hours of labor for me. The part was about $300, but i spent over 6 hours installing it, so i didn't have to pay the dealer $1,000 to do so. This is definitely a safety issue, especially if you are on the road when it fails. So many people have hadthis problem, and it should be a recall by now.

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.
