Water Pump Failure Resulting in Engine Replacement
Per the Class Action Settlement, the customer is entitled to 100% coverage for the replacement of the Water
Pump, Thermostat and/or Thermostat Housing. In situations when the replacement engine contains a new Water
Pump, the Customer pay portion of the prorated repair will be reduced by $1,150. This reduction should be
claimed as Outside Labor on the 2WA claim line.
For additional details on applying this limited warranty extension, including SAGA claim examples, reference
Water Pump Class Action and Warranty Extension Dealer FAQ located on WISE > Resource Center > FAQs.
Eligibility – Documents That Must Be Provided By the Settlement Class Member
In order to obtain a repair/replacement under the extended warranty, the Settlement Class Member must provide
the dealer with either records/receipts, or a signed declaration (if they cannot obtain the records after a good faith
attempt), showing that, during the time that he/she has owned the Settlement Class Vehicle, up to the
date/mileage of the repair, proper coolant was used and the coolant was checked in accordance with the coolant
system related maintenance intervals that apply to the vehicle, within a 10% variance on each such time/mileage
interval.
Transferability
The warranty, as extended, is fully transferable to subsequent owners, excluding those for the purpose of
commercial resale.
Vehicle Eligibility
To determine if a vehicle is eligible for the Water Pump Limited Warranty Extension, check the VIN in Elsa >
Vehicle Data. The “Warranty” section of the “Vehicle Data” screen will show Warranty Key “U55” indicating this
vehicle is applicable for this Warranty Extension.

screen in Elsa will be populated with the warranty extension parameters.
