Details
What's wrong: An incorrect transmission oil cooler line was installed. The line contacts the anti-lock braking system module support bracket and over time, can wear and develop a leak.
Why it matters: Transmission fluid leakage onto the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter can result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will install the appropriate transmission oil cooler line.
