Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)It has come to my attention that liquid from the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system may leak onto the water pump electrical connector. This condition can lead to an electrical short circuit and, in rare cases, may increase the risk of a vehicle fire. This issue presents a serious safety concern for vehicle owners and others on the road. A failure of this nature, especially one that carries a fire risk, warrants immediate review and corrective action. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and determine whether a safety recall is necessary to address this defect. The dealership noticed the leak beginning at the weep hole of the waterpump. No incident occurred this is for preventive measures and review for recall and reimbursement
We had an oil pump failure that was because the part was plastic, not metal.
