This Preliminary information communicates in temperatures below freezing, it may be noticed that exhaust is only exiting from the right hand exhaust tailpipe. The cause of this condition is a low point in left side tailpipe which results in condensation building up at the low point in the tailpipe. In low temperatures the condensation can freeze and form ice limiting the flow of exhaust out of the left tailpipe. Dealers are to drill a small hole in the left tailpipe to allow condensation to drain.

Customer Satisfaction Program. Certain vehicles, equipped with a gas engine, may have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside of the water pump may have been manufactured incorrectly potentially causing a water pump failure. The vehicle coolant system temperature is monitored and will display multiple warnings to the customer as coolant temperatures rise. At a set coolant temperature, the MIL will illuminate, DTC P2B85 will set in the engine control module (ECM), the oil pressure gauge will indicate high oil pressure and reduced torque with notification to the driver of reduced power will occur. If the customer continues to drive after this warning and the coolant temperature continues to rise, a chime will occur, the AC will be disabled and an additional message instructing the driver to idle will illuminate. If the customer continues to drive the vehicle after all previous warnings and the coolant temperature continues to rise a message the engine will shut down could occur, and the engine will be shut down. Dealers are to replace the water pump.
