Mine went yesterday at 63k miles.

Yesterday, hot air from the ventilation went and 2 minutes later, yellow coolant sign light up in the cluster. I stopped knowing it was the water pump that failed. As it was below zero outside and engine oil temp was still at the coldest, I started the engine again to move to a secure area. Never did the red coolant light light up.

Parts in Canada are not cheap. Water pump is around $650 and I decided to replace the thermostat at the same time ($200) and a $45 hose that links them.

Job will be done Monday, so I don't know yet how much labour will add to the bill.
