Checked Results

 

i had mine checked out , luckily my vin wasnt one of the ones that needed it done.

 

It was only on the 2005 and yes it is real. There are lots of stories on here from people were driving and the coolant line completely came off and sprayed coolant everywhere which made a mess on a hot engine.

 

yikes, I have an 05

 

Yes 05 only guys

 

i had mine checked out it was ok, i remember one got test driven by some guy and it blew coolant everywere, i was told by the tech they just got in the evo and hit the pedal to the medal and had to pull over a mile down the road and have it towed back to the dealer.

 

How do you check if your Evo is one of those that needs to be replaced?

 

Old news... got mine replaced last summer

 

I had mine replaced when I bought it in 2005. This recall is that old.
