On certain vehicles, transmission fluid could leak from the gearbox ventilation hose during extreme (race track) driving conditions. If the transmission fluid contacts hot engine parts it could ignite, resulting in smoke and possibly a fire which could cause injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the single gearbox ventilation hose with a double ventilation hose.
