As a result, the bolt may loosen and the transmission oil cooler lines may disengage from the transmission, causing a transmission fluid leak.
- Risk
- If leaking transmission fluid contacts the catalytic converter, it may pose a risk of fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and have the transmission cooler line attachment bolt tightened free of charge. The recall began on august 30, 2007. Owners may contact ford at 1‑800‑392‑3673.
