When overheating occurs, Fail-Safe automatically locks in the open position to permit maximum coolant flow. When standard thermostats fail, they lock in the closed position and prevent coolant flow to the engine, which can possibly cause serious damage to your engine. Fail-Safe has a patented safeguard against overheating damage. Fail-Safe thermostats are designed with a unique extra stroke that allows operation in two stages. Within normal operating temperatures, the Fail-Safe operates the same as any other thermostat. When overheating is caused by a deteriorating cooling system part, the Fail-Safe has a secondary stroke that activates a precision engineered piston that automatically locks the valve into a wide open position allowing coolant to circulate freely.Features & Benefits Designed To Help Protect Your Engine When Overheating Occurs When Overheating Occurs, Fail-Safe Automatically Locks In The Open Position To Permit Maximum Coolant Flow Fail-Safe Has A Patented Safeguard Against Overheating Damage Designed With A Unique Extra Stroke That Allows Operation In Two Stages Fail-Safe Has A Secondary Stroke That Activates A Precision Engineered Piston That Automatically Locks The Valve Into A Wide Open Position Allowing Coolant To Circulate Freely Limited 1 Year Warranty This Fits1998-1999 Acura CL1990-1993 Acura Integra1999-2001 Acura Integra1990-1993 Honda Accord1996-1997 Honda Accord2002-2002 Honda Accord1984-1991 Honda Civic2003-2003 Honda Civic2005-2005 Honda Civic2000-2001 Honda CR-V1988-1991 Honda CRX1993-1996 Honda Prelude1990-1990 Sterling 827 14248436 055644742809 0.2700lbs 0.00 0.00 0.00

I bought this for my 1997 Honda Accord because of the fail-safe feature - if it fails, it will stay in the open position. Made in Israel so I kept and installed it, working OK for 3 months now.
