That match is an exact model-year row in the retailer fitment feed — not a guess from a similar vehicle. Confirm engine, drivetrain, and production date on the listing before buying.
When a catalog match exists, replacement listings for this model year are linked through parts.autotk.com. This page does not invent compatibility.
The replacement link only appears when the catalog feed has at least one compatible product for this exact model year.
Mechanically related parts include water pump, radiator. Similar symptoms can come from those parts or from the broader system, not only from a failed thermostat.
Use the related-component links on this page when those combinations are published. A system-category NHTSA report is not proof that this specific part failed.
A failing thermostat can be one of several causes of overheating. That possibility is not a diagnosis of this vehicle.
Also consider water pump and other system faults. Verify with testing rather than replacing parts from a list.
If the symptom remains after a thermostat replacement, another cause — including water pump — may still be involved, or the replacement may not have addressed the actual fault.
This is a diagnostic branch, not proof that the new part is defective or that the related part has failed.

Find replacement partsDirect mentions are NHTSA owner narratives that contain this component or an accepted alias. Related-system counts are complaints in a mapped category that do not name the part. They are never merged. Mileage statistics use odometer values from 1 to 400,000 miles. This is not a failure rate.
