The issue
THE UPPER TRANSAXLE OIL COOLER HOSE COULD PULL OUT OF THE CRIMPED COUPLING AT THE TRANSAXLE END OF THE LINE ASSEMBLY. IF THIS COUPLING WERE TO SEPARATE, TRANSAXLE OIL WOULD SPILL INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW UPPER TRANSAXLE OIL COOLER LINE ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.
Description (français)
Le tuyau supérieur du refroidisseur d'huile de la boîte-pont peut se détacher du raccord à pince, à l'extrémité boîte-pont de l'arbre-moteur. Si cela se produit, de l'huile de la boite-pont peut éclabousser le compartiment moteur et, en présence d'une source d'allumage, causer un incendie. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront installer une nouvelle canalisation sur le refroidisseur d'huile de la boite-pont supérieure sur tous les véhicules visés.
