ISSUE:

Coolant may leak from the radiator hose connections at the thermostat housing or the water pump end. This may occur because the hose
clamp does not have enough clamping force.

ACTION:

Replace the existing radiator hose clamps with new clamps (F1JY-8287-A) which have a higher clamping force.

NOTE:

THIS NEW STRONGER HOSE CLAMP (F1JY-8287-A) IS NOT SUITABLE FOR RADIATOR HOSE CONNECTIONS TO THE
RADIATOR ITSELF.
