| Defect summary | On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with the 4. 6l engine and 6r transmission, the bolt securing the transmission oil cooler line fittings at the transmission may not have been sufficiently torqued during vehicle assembly. As a result, the bolt may loosen and the transmission oil cooler lines may disengage from the transmission, causing a transmission fluid leak. |
| Consequence summary | If leaking transmission fluid contacts the catalytic converter, it may pose a risk of fire. |
