Recall 00V094000: Defroster Performance Compromised

Vehicle Description:
Pickup trucks equipped with 2.5L OHC engines. Engine coolant circulation through the heater circuit is prevented because of a plugged heater return tube (water pump inlet tube) at the water pump. These vehicles do not comply with the intent of FMVSS No. 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems." As a result of no heat in the heater circuit, defrost performance is compromised. Dealers will replace the plugged heater water return tubes. All vehicles are at transportation yards or dealerships. No vehicles have been delivered to customers. No owner notification will be required.
