Official summary

This is a Technical Information Notice sent to dealers. The notice informs dealers of some reported coolant leaking from the transmission cooler line hoses at the CVT8 fluid cooler. The notice informs dealers that MMNA is looking to collect 3 complete sets of those CVT8 fluid coolers with the hoses and clamps undisturbed, in order for MMC to perform a duplication test to confirm the area of leakage.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
