Fracture of a GF nylon composite radiator occurred in a new car, leading to seizure of the engine. The fracture probably started at a cold slug or void present on an unusually large weld line in the radiator, itself probably created by poor moulding conditions. Rather than being a design fault, the failure was probably caused by lack of quality control during injection moulding.
