Description of the problem	There is a constant coolant leak coming from the thermostat housing and water pump area. It started as a slow leak, every 10,000 miles or so i would have to top it off and now it has gotten to the point where i have to fill it back up every day. Looked into it online and it seems that nearly everyone that owns this car has the same issue and everyone's leak comes from this area.

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.
