Overhaul

An "overhaul" is a major action to fix something that is viewed by the speaker as flawed or broken. Ex.: "That truck needs a complete overhaul or it will be completely useless." Ex. #2: "President Barack Obama laid out his case Thursday for an overhaul of immigration laws...." This refers to widespread change to fix immigration laws (from President Obama's personal and political point of view).
