The issue
On certain 4-cylinder vehicles, the water pump pulley center hole was improperly machined and the pulley may dislodge from the pump which could result in severe engine damage during vehicle usage. Correction: The originally equipped water pump of each of the potentially affected vehicles will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules 4 cylindres, le trou au centre de la poulie de la pompe à eau a été mal usiné. Pour cette raison, il se peut que la poulie se détache de la pompe et cause des dommages importants au moteur alors que le véhicule est en marche. Correction : La pompe à eau d'origine devra être remplacée sur les véhicules touchés.
