It wouldn't be common to use "overheat" as a noun (the same way it's used in Spanish).
calentón = the engine/vehicle overheated

If you need a heading, the word "overheating" might be a good option (e.g., the overheating of older vehicles during summer months has created problems on major highways, especially during rush hour).
calentón = the engine/vehicle overheated // the overheating (of vehicles)

: Overheated yes, but not the car. The wheels/tyres get overheated when the handbreak is jammed, not the motor.
