Details
What's wrong: The automatic transmission may expel fluid from the fill tube during normal temperature operation.
Why it matters: The transmission fluid could come into contact with the hot exhaust system and ignition of the transmission fluid could result.
The fix: Dealers will shorten the vent hose and assure adequate clearance.
