Certain vehicles may develop an abnormal pressure build-up in the transmission with the possibility of transmission fluid coming out of the filler tube onto hot engine parts resulting in a possible vehicle fire. Correction: Owners will be provided with a new dipstick with a lock-seal top and new owner manual instructions and graphics for checking the automatic transmission fluid level.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1992081.
