Details

What's wrong: The transmission fluid level gauges (dip sticks) installed in these vehicles are not to designed specifications. The gauge indicates that transmission fluid should be added when it is at the correct level.

Why it matters: Adding more transmission fluid than required will causethe fluid to leak through the fluid level gauge tube onto the manifold as theengine temperature rises. This creates a potential for a fire.

The fix: Replace oil level gauge and notify owners to use only the specified amount of automatic transmission fluid.
