Description of the problem	T-connector (base part #8566) from radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford indicates national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available. I was told i was #17 on the waiting list at repair shop for the same piece due to the number of device failures due to recent cold temperatures in the ohio valley. The vehicle was stationary for four days when i noticed a large puddle under the vehicle. Upon inspection, i found the coolant reservoir was empty and coolant draining all down the serpentine belt and pulleys. Mechanic verified cracked t- connector. Due to the number of cracked t-connectors and a national backorder, i feel there is a material deficiency in the t-connector and should be recalled for replacement. I've been told my vehicle is out of service for an undetermined amount of time. With a snow storm looming, this is unacceptable!
