Description of the problem	The car suddenly developed a huge leak in coolant. After diagnose, it was identified that on the coolant distributor behind the engine there is a coupler which was glued onto the distributor. The glue will break down over a few years and the coolant pipe be blown out causing the entire engine to lose coolant, which is extremely dangerous. This is a pure design issue and porsche did not issue a recall on.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
