Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat 7421-180

The Motorad Fail-Safe 7421-180 engine coolant thermostat is built for OE-style cooling system service with a 180 degree F opening temperature. It uses a copper case and wax compound for quick reaction to coolant temperature changes, along with an offset design and air relief valve where applicable.

Compatible with Suzuki Swift, Grand Vitara, SX4, SX4 Crossover, Esteem, and Vitara applications, this thermostat is a direct-fit cooling system service part for select Chevrolet Tracker and Suzuki models. The Motorad Fail-Safe line is engineered to lock in the open position if overheating occurs, helping coolant continue to circulate.

Product Details

Motorad 7421-180 is an OE supplier thermostat designed for demanding automotive cooling systems. The Fail-Safe product line is intended for drivers who need a thermostat that follows original equipment temperature control requirements while adding a fail-open safety feature. This part cross-references 74218 and P7421-180 for the same application.

Use this thermostat for select 1999-2003 and 2005-2008 Chevrolet Tracker models, plus 2002-2017 Suzuki Esteem, Vitara, Swift, Grand Vitara, SX4, and SX4 Crossover applications. For buyers searching for a 180F thermostat for Suzuki SX4 or a thermostat for Chevrolet Tracker cooling system repair, part number 7421-180 is the relevant OE-style replacement.

Common Uses

Engine runs hotter than normal due to a sticking thermostat
Coolant temperature fluctuates during driving or idle
Heater output drops because coolant flow is restricted
Overheating diagnosis points to thermostat replacement
Cooling system service on select Suzuki and Chevrolet Tracker vehicles

Installation Notes

Confirm the 180 degree F temperature specification and flange dimensions before installation. This thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, and no installation tool is included. Clean the housing mating surfaces, inspect the thermostat housing, and verify the air relief valve and jiggle pin orientation during assembly.

For fitment-specific searches, this part is commonly selected for 2007-2017 Suzuki Swift, 2009-2015 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2007-2014 Suzuki SX4, 2012 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, 2005-2008 Chevrolet Tracker, 1999-2003 Chevrolet Tracker, 2003 Suzuki Vitara, and 2002 Suzuki Esteem.
