Reason for concern

Reason for recall

This could result in coolant overflowing from the condenser tank. If the coolant overflows repeatedly and use of the vehicle continues without sufficient coolant engine overheating could occur. In the worst case the engine could stall/heat seize and cannot be restarted

Remedy
