• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford engine coolant thermostat, catalogued under base number 8575, used across the Edge, Escape, Bronco Sport, Maverick and the Lincoln Corsair and Nautilus with the 2.0L and 2.3L engines. The thermostat regulates coolant flow through the cooling system, staying closed during warm-up to bring the engine to operating temperature quickly and opening as the engine heats so coolant circulates through the radiator to control temperature. Maintaining the correct operating temperature supports efficient combustion, proper cabin heat, and protection against overheating. Drivers replacing this part are usually responding to an engine that runs cold or fails to reach temperature, an overheating condition, weak heater output, or a temperature-related warning or code. The thermostat is supplied with its gasket and seals at the housing without the housing itself. Built to Ford specifications, it matches the original opening temperature, body geometry, and sealing surface for a direct fit without modification. Fitment spans the 2.0L and 2.3L applications across these models in the 19-26 range. Confirm the model, model year, and engine against the Ford catalog before ordering, refill and bleed the cooling system after installation, and verify the engine reaches and holds the correct operating temperature so the thermostat regulates flow as designed.
