Description of the problem	The engine coolant reservoir failed can't be repaired. It must be replaced. There are no such parts anywhere in the united states. Parts are on a boat from korea. Due to the suspected number of such failures, and to the basic lack of adequate design of the part, we suspect that there has been a major draw-down on the part, resulting in a stock outage. Operating the vehicle w/o this major component would result in engine failure. Such engine failure, under certain conditions, could result in an accident, and potential injury. nm ak
