What NHTSA recorded

Certain vehicles may have an incorrect gasket between the transmission and the transfer case. An incorrect gasket may interfere with the normal flow of lubricant. This condition could cause the transmission to become damaged and inoperative.

Remedy

The gasket between the transmission and the transfer case will be replaced, if necessary.
