What's wrong: Putting in more transmission oil than specified can cause oil to bleed through air groove on to the exhaust manifold if oil temperature rises.
Why it matters: This could cause smoke emission from the manifold, whichcould ignite rubber hoses and result in a fire.
The fix: Replace oil level gauge and notify owners to use only the specified amount of automatic transmission fluid.
