Condition
Some customers may comment on a transmission fluid leak. This concern will be more prevalent in extreme cold climates.
Further inspection may find that the leak is coming from one of the transmission cooler lines at the hose to steel line crimp.
Correction
If the under vehicle inspection reveals transmission fluid leaking from one of the cooler lines, replace the affected cooler line. New transmission cooler lines have been released to address this concern. These new lines have been manufactured with an updated crimp process to better withstand the cold temperatures. Refer to SI for the replacement procedures.
