What is wrong

On certain vehicles, engine coolant could leak through a coolant valve connection. This could cause coolant to migrate into the engine control module, potentially resulting in an electrical short and an engine stall. This would result in a loss of motive power, which could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the coolant valve, inspect for coolant migration and repair as necessary.
