POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
What Happened
The transmission in your vehicle is the part that helps your engine send power to the wheels. In certain models, a small amount of water from the air conditioning system can leak into the transmission through a seal, which can cause a problem during gear shifting.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the transmission could overheat and cause a fire under the hood. This is a serious situation that could potentially cause significant damage or injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the transmission to see if there's a leak. If not, they'll install a new seal and shield to prevent future issues. If there is a leak, they'll fix the problem and install a new seal and shield to keep the water out. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
