Vehicles Affected: Approximately 11,000 model-year 2011 Hyundai Tucson SUVs manufactured from July 22 to Oct. 31, 2010.
The Problem: A transmission fluid cooler hose may have been improperly manufactured, resulting in a transmission fluid leak. If enough transmission fluid leaks out, the transmission may not function properly and the vehicle may stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the transmission fluid cooler hose for free.
What Owners Should Do: Hyundai will begin notifying owners on March 25. For more info, owners can call the automaker at 800-633-5151 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov.
