Description of the problem	I was driving on the highway at night when the "engine has overheated" warning came on, after which i managed to make it to a local road near before the car stalled. I had it towed to a hyundai center the next day, where they told me i had a transmission fluid leak and they fixed the issue. Today, less than a week later, i was driving and about to go on the freeway when the "engine has overheated" warning came on again. I felt like it would be too dangerous to continue driving in case the car stalls again at night on a freeway, and am waiting on a response from hyundai to either fix or replace the car.

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.
