Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. These vehicles were not equipped with a transmission fluid temperature warning system.
Why it matters: Fluid could boil over and may come into contact with a hot engine or exhaust component and cause a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and install a "hotoil" message in the instrument cluster and a chime indicating an elevated transmission fluid condition. The recall began on February 22, 2010.
