See if any of the parts houses have a picture you can look at, they should have something. If not the Dealer will for sure, at least you could find out what it is called

The thermostat housing is part of a larger housing that bolts to the head. You would drain the coolant remove the hoses/electrical connectors and unbolt the assembly from the head.
Then you could use a helicoil repair for the thermostat housing or get the entire assembly from a junk yard.
Buy a Haynes manual if you want to work on the car yourself.
