transmission.
The vented transmission fluid could come into contact with the hot exhaust
system and ignition of the transmission fluid could result.
Dealers will modify the transmission control unit to limit vehicle speed to
below approximately 30 miles per hour when the vehicle is operated in the
four-wheel-drive low range, an additional label describing the proper use of
four-wheel-drive low range will be provided, and will relocate the transmission
