What is wrong

Putting in more transmission oil than specified can cause oil to bleed through air groove on to the exhaust manifold if oil temperature rises.

The risk

This could cause smoke emission from the manifold, whichcould ignite rubber hoses and result in a fire.

The fix

Replace oil level gauge and notify owners to use only the specified amount of automatic transmission fluid.
