Description of the problem	I have a 2006 ford explorer. At 40000 miles the transmission went out and had to be replaced. Shortly thereafter i had a cracked radiator and had my first radiator replaced. I now have 67000 miles and just had my 3rd radiator put in. I am not going through ford as they wouldn't guarantee their work on the first one they replaced. Clearly there is a major problem with the radiators in this car and it is unfair to all of us who purchased this 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.
