Affected

Automatic Transmission Breather Tube Modification

SYMPTOM

Automatic transmission ATF dipstick (yellow-colored handle) pushes out of the dipstick tube.

VEHICLES AFFECTED 

4-doors VIN JH4KA76... MC040007 to MC051052 
Coupes VIN JH4KA82...MC010201 to MC012448

PROBABLE CAUSE

The neoprene hose end of the automatic transmission breather tube is too close to, or blocked off by, the ATF dipstick bracket.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Inspect all vehicles within the affected VIN range for a blocked off breather tube hose. If the breather tube hose is blocked, do the following:

1.

Locate the transmission breather tube. It is to the right of the ATF dipstick (yellow-colored handle).

2.

Insert a flat-tip screwdriver between the breather tube and the ATF dipstick bracket.
