Details

What's wrong: A hose manufacturing process allowed the reinforcement yard to breach the inner layer of some automatic transmission hoses weakening the inner wall which could result in leakage of the automatic transmission fluid.

Why it matters: Fluid leakage from the cooler hoses can cause transaxle driveability problems and smoke if the oil contacts the front exhaust pipe.

The fix: Dealers will replace the transaxle oil cooler hoses. Owner notification began April 9, 2001.
