Engine and engine cooling: cooling system
- What is wrong
- In the event the engine overheats and the vehicle is operated continuously in that condition, the coolant pressure will rise to a level at which the heat exchanger could leak.
- Risk
- A leaking heat exchanger will allow hot coolant to escape causing injury to the driver's feet or could steam up the interior of the vehicle temporarily impairing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the heat exchanger on these vehicles.
