Description of the problem	February 2017, vehicle in motion, 50 mph & suddenly alarm/engine light & temp gauge went crazy, vehicle stalls out from overheating in left lane of 2 ln hwy. Able to cruise to shoulder. Knew it was an issue w/ radiator or coolant from the smell & warning on dash. In close proximity of store where friend works so waited 45 min to cool& vehicle did start. Able to nurse it over to the parking lot that was 5min away, eng light stayed on. Time of incident was 8:00 pm viewing engine under better light,coolant was critically low. Purchased coolant from store where refilled reservoir, waited until he was off work, 9:20 pm, so can follow me home in case i need more assistance. Arrive at my home without incident, engine light on. In following days, i monitor coolant for 2 weeks& figure its an isolated incident. Engine lt remains on for 7 days. After 3wks, need to top off coolant as it drops under fill line. I purchased this vehicle @19kmi & time of incident had 35k miles. Feeling it is a bit unusual to have these issues at such low mileage but im no expert,figured something that needs to be monitored reg as the temp gauge reads normal/no engine/warning light has been on since. I received in april-safety recall17s09/17v-209. I read that repair not available until late 2017& i will be notified by ford when to sched. Service appt for cooling sys. Upgrade. Have not rcvd any further notice & have had to top off the coolant once again. Letter states to "maintain proper coolant level to reduce risk of overheating that can lead to a fire" am i reducing risk only? Not eliminating this risk? Idid some research, leading me to this complaint. I'm financing this vehicle for $380/mth & very unhappy with this situation & am not sure of my options if there is no resolution yet. I do not want to break down in traffic again if there is a risk of repeating the initial incident, or worse.

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.
