Defect

The manufacturing process for the automatic transmission (A/T) oil cooler pipes and oil cooler hoses is improper, resulting in units where the pipe machining is inadequate and the hose cleaning treatment is insufficient. As a result, vibration during driving may cause the oil cooler hose to pull free, allowing oil to leak and rendering the vehicle inoperable.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the oil cooler hoses and oil cooler pipes with corrected parts.
