Description of the problem	Nhtsa recall number: 17v-562. The description provided in the notice reads: "a water pump failure resulting in an engine compartment fire can cause the vehicle to crash without prior warning increasing the risk of injury to motor vehicle occupants or persons outside the vehicle." i contacted the dealer where i purchased the vehicle, tate branch dodge in carlsbad, nm on 11/21/2017. They stated that nothing can be done, even after i asked if i just have to hope that the vehicle doesn't catch on fire, to which they said, "yes".
