Subject
Sedona (GQ) Corroded Heater Coolant Pipes (CLI - 013 - REVISED)

Description





On some Sedona (GQ) vehicles built from May 1, 2001 to August 30, 2005, the heater coolant pipes may corrode and leak without warning. During scheduled maintenance, oil changes and/or other vehicle service, inspect the heater coolant pipes for severe corrosion. Corrosion is more likely in areas of the country that commonly spread corrosive compounds such as sodium chloride (salt) or calcium chloride on pavement to control freezing or melt ice and snow. Note too that during warm weather (or in warm climates) that calcium chloride may be used on some unpaved road surfaces to control dust. If any pipe or pipes are found to be severely corroded, replace the affected pipes with new ones, which are improved in corrosion resistance.
