Summary

14417a - customer satisfaction (revised service procedure). Certain vehicles equipped with the 1.4l engine (rpo luj or luv) may have a condition in which a low engine coolant level may be observed in the coolant reservoir even though there are no external leaks present. Some customers may have noticed that the coolant level was full when the vehicle was new but the coolant level decreased over time. If air was trapped in the cooling system during the coolant fill process at the plant, the coolant level may have decreased over time as the trapped air was purged from the cooling system. Dealers are to inspect the cooling system level and fill it to the appropriate level if it is low.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 1,071 complaints in the engine category.
