The risk
The product poses a risk of fire because the transmission fluid on the affected vehicles may overheat under certain driving conditions. Continuous operation under these conditions may cause the transmission fluid to boil over and come in contact with hot engine or exhaust components. This could cause an underhood fire without warning.
Product: The recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. See attached list of VIN numbers.
