Recall 1993034

The issue

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.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, la chaleur produite dans la boîte de vitesses lors du remorquage de lourdes charges à vitesses élevées ou d'une utilisation hors route avec charge maximale peut forcer le liquide de la boîte de vitesses à s'écouler par le trou de ventilation. Si ce liquide entre en contact avec le catalyseur il peut prendre feu et causer un incendie.
