Description of the problem	"permanent" coolant hose attachment failed; it came loose from its mounting in the engine resulting in coolant sprayed onto tire, with complete loss of control during a turn , including 270 degree spin, and leaving roadway; fortunately no other vehicles were nearby, so a collision was avoided. Apparently, this is not an unusual failure with the gt3 engine. Note: this was not a coolant hose or hose clamp failure, this was a structural failure of a permanent engine component to which the coolant hose mounts. Given the serious safety issues at stake, both to the driver of the vehicle and those also using the roadway near the affected vehicle, it should, in my opinion, be addressed with a safety recall as soon as possible. This is a design defect that is undetectable until the part fails, with potential loss of life and substantial property damage.
