Description of the problem	Had a cracked and leaking water pump housing that was replaced and covered by an aftermarket warranty. I had been to multiple shops because of a coolant smell, none could fine the source. I was told by volkswagen that 'it happens, they always lose a little coolant', that is absolutely not true. It is a closed system and should not lose any coolant or smell like coolant at all. I have seen dozens of others with the same car as myself with the same problem, only after i was forceful and insistent with a volkswagen dealership was the problem found and corrected.

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.
