On certain vehicles, the transmission fluid may be forced out of the vent tube due to heat generation in the transmission caused by trailering heavy loads at high speeds or high-load/off road use. If the vented transmission fluid comes in contact with the catalytic converter, the fluid could ignite resulting in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will install a longer transmission vent hose routed to the left side of the vehicle.
Certain vehicles may develop an abnormal pressure build-up in the transmission with the possibility of transmission fluid coming out of the filler tube onto hot engine parts resulting in a possible vehicle fire. Correction: Owners will be provided with a new dipstick with a lock-seal top and new owner manual instructions and graphics for checking the automatic transmission fluid level.
