What NHTSA recorded

A problem relating to the front exhaust pipe bracket attachment could cause leaking of transmission oil. Transmission could lock up due to lack of proper oil lubrication.

Remedy

Dealer will replace the existing exhaust pipe bracket with one that attaches to the side of the transmission. The rear differential cover gasket will also be replaced, using screws instead of studs.
