W212 FL E-Class Coolant Pump Defect

[Creat1ve]

Just to share this info...

 

Managed to get some pictures on the manufacturer defect.

 

They are commonly called the "Water Pump".

 

I presumed this has yet being listed for Recall.

 

Anyway, the defect comes from the Plastic level bracket.

Breaks due to material or constant exposure to high heat (as it is located next to the exhaust).

 

Symptoms: Coolant leakage

 

I was told that a few has already "claimed under warranty".

 

You guys might just want to check the floor for signs of coolant after you left the car parked for a while.

 

I was also being informed that this defect only applies to the earlier production batch.

 

The new Coolant pump will have an additional stopper bracket to prevent the leak.

Is it applicable for cars only under warranty period only ?
