Leaking water pump?

[Mrmike]

I have a '23 Outer Banks (1.5). I notice I have to add anti-freeze to the reservoir lately. I'm guessing that I'm having a water pump problem. My vehicle is over 3 years old with 19000 miles. Was there ever a recall for a water pump or is it strictly a warranty issue. If I can't get it repaired by the dealer with a recall, I'll take it to my local mechanic and save some money. What are my op

I had my '24 OB pump replaced under warranty a few months ago. I went when anti freeze was a smidge under min line.
I told them I wanted pump tested and it indeed needed to be replaced.

My 23 OB water pump was replaced as warranty.

At 3 years and 19000 miles it should still be under warranty.

Original Poster sounds like he is beyond 3 years? Beyond warranty? But I would still start with the dealer. It is a well documented problem that Ford might be willing to take care of.

But, I believe the warranty is for 5 years for drivetrain.
