An electrical connector on the water pump may not be properly sealed, allowing water to enter and cause a short circuit. Dealers will inspect and replace the water pump and plug connector if necessary and install a protective shield at no cost to owners.
A short circuit in the water pump's electrical connector significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire, even while the vehicle is parked or in operation.
Inspection and free repair including a protective shield installation.
