Re: Corrado recall!!

["Aaron D. Patton" <apatton1@airmail.net>]

This recall announcement has been on the NHTSA web site for 2 or 3 months
and it is not exactly a heater core recall.
According to the exact wording of the recall:
"Dealers will install in the coolant inlet hose to the heater core, a
pressure reducer with a 5mm diameter secured by a spring tensioned hose
clamp. Also a new relay that will change the operation of the secondary
electrical coolant pump will be installed. Dealers will also perform a
functional check of the cooling system to make sure that all cooling system
components operate properly."
What effect this will have on the heating system I have no idea, but
thankfully I live in Texas and that is not that much of a concern.
