Motorad Fail-Safe 180°F Thermostat

The Motorad Fail-Safe Engine Coolant Thermostat, part number 7270-180, is built for precise coolant temperature control in demanding cooling systems. It uses OEM-quality materials and an OE-style manufacturing process to deliver consistent operation at 180°F.

Compatible With Ford Escape, Ford Focus, Mazda Tribute, Ford Escort, Mercury Cougar, Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, Ford Taurus, Hyundai Scoupe, Mazda RX-7, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Pickup, Toyota T100, and Hyundai Excel applications listed below.

Key Features

  • 180°F thermostat rating for controlled engine warm-up and stable operating temperature
  • Fail-Safe design locks open if overheating occurs, allowing continued coolant flow
  • Copper case and wax compound for quick response to coolant temperature changes
  • Offset design with air relief valve for improved cooling-system operation where applicable
  • OEM-style seals used where applicable for proper housing fitment
  • Motorad Fail-Safe part number 7270-180 for direct catalog identification

Product Details

This thermostat is engineered for vehicles that need dependable temperature regulation in the cooling system. The copper case and wax element are designed to react quickly as coolant temperature changes, while the Fail-Safe mechanism provides an added layer of protection by locking open during an overheating event. That makes this Motorad 7270-180 thermostat a practical choice for drivers servicing Ford Escape, Ford Focus, Mazda Tribute, and other listed applications that require a 180°F engine coolant thermostat.

This part cross-references select aftermarket numbers such as 1601-291003 and P7270-180 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Engine overheating caused by a thermostat that no longer opens correctly
  • Slow engine warm-up from a thermostat stuck open or operating outside spec
  • Unstable coolant temperature during stop-and-go or highway driving
  • Cooling-system flow issues related to worn thermostat internals
  • Fitment concerns when replacing an OE-style 180°F thermostat

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify housing dimensions and bypass measurements before installation. This thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, and no installation tool is included. Clean the thermostat housing thoroughly, inspect the mating surfaces, and replace any worn sealing components as required by the vehicle application. Confirm the 180°F temperature specification matches the original equipment requirement for your Ford, Mazda, Mercury, Toyota, or Hyundai model.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this Fail-Safe thermostat using OEM-quality materials and OE-supplier standards. It is produced to OEM specifications and processes for consistent fit and temperature control in demanding automotive cooling systems.
