2019 Chevy Sonic Water Pump Leak at 40,000 miles. Recall?

[Steveoo]

I just got my Sonic towed to the garage for overheating and no coolant. They tell me the water pump is leaking onto the serpentine belt. The SONIC only has 40,000 miles. Seems early for a water pump to go? I read that in 2011-2015 there was a recall for SONIC's with the same issue.

Is anybody else experiencing water pumps leaking around 30,000-40,000 miles?

My water pump leaked twice since 2013 each time the dealer replaced it free of charge. There is a technical service bulletin that covers the recall on this issue.

My son has a 2019 and just had water pump replaced last week at 48k miles.

I had a 2013 Sonic and water pump went out around 55k.

Seems about the normal lifespan for them.
