Product Details

The Motorad Fail-Safe line is engineered for drivers who need a thermostat that follows original equipment temperature targets while adding a built-in safety response. Part number 7270-192 is designed to regulate coolant flow at 192°F, helping the engine reach and maintain proper operating temperature under normal conditions. The Fail-Safe mechanism is intended to remain open after an overheating event, which helps preserve coolant circulation in the cooling system.

This part cross-references 77092 and P7270-192 for the same application. It is a strong match for long-tail searches such as 192 degree engine coolant thermostat for Ford Escape, 192F thermostat for Ford Focus, and OE-style thermostat for Mazda Tribute and Ford Taurus applications.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or too hot due to thermostat wear
• Delayed warm-up and unstable operating temperature
• Cooling system temperature control issues on select Ford, Mazda, and Mercury vehicles
• Thermostat failure that leaves the engine without normal coolant regulation
• Overheating events where continued coolant flow is needed

Installation Notes

Verify the 192°F temperature rating and housing dimensions before installation. This thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, and no installation tool is included. Inspect the mating surfaces, bypass dimensions, and sealing flange condition during service. Use the vehicle service procedure for the specific Ford Escape, Ford Focus, Mazda Tribute, Ford Escort, Mercury Cougar, Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, Ford Taurus, or Mazda RX-7 application.
