ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

Manufacturer
The Gates Corporation
What Happened
The water pump in your car is a crucial part that circulates coolant through your engine. The part at issue, the TFW 41127, is like a belt that turns the timing belt in your engine. It might have a black pulley or be missing a specific stamp.
Risk if Unfixed
If this part fails, the timing belt could break, causing your engine to suddenly shut down. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially if you're driving on the highway or merging with traffic.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty water pump with a new one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
