Description of the problem	I have a leak in my coolant system. Since i've gotten the car in october 2016, i've experienced a weird burning smell, before i had even discovered what the issue was. In june 2017, my engine overheated due to a malfunction in my coolant system. As a result, i had my coolant flange replaced. A few days later, my car began to smoke and my engine went idle. The coolant leaks from the flange and the reservoir often. Sometimes, it leaks as i drive, other times, it'll be parked and leak out when idle. I never use my air conditioning or heat anymore due to the burning smell of the coolant. I had my coolant flange replaced a second time. My car was down for 3 months and i just got it repaired again. Last week, october 10, 2017, my car began to smoke again, my engine went idle, and when i popped the hood, the coolant had leaked out completely. Any time it has overheated and the engine when idle, i've been on the freeway, driving at least 60 mph or on the street, driving at least 30 mph. More recently, when it overheated, the car had been idle for 2 hours and then 5 mins into me driving it, it happened. I was driving down a dark highway, going about 25 mph. Before the engine overheated, i had 65% oil life and afterwards, i had 0% oil life. My uncle had just added coolant to my reservoir the day before, but it leaked out completely. Luckily, i was not alone this time. I'm always cautious that my engine will blow out when i drive it. My mechanic informed me to be sure that i always had coolant and water in my trunk at all times, in case it leaks out. I travel 40 mins to work every other day and it's quite frightening, knowing that at any time, my engine may overheat again, due to the coolant leak. I'm almost positive that there's a recall for this issue, but i need confirmation. I have not received a recall notice, but i've done research..

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.
