On certain vehicles, there is not sufficient space between the electronic wirings for automatic transmission and the edge of the thermostat fitting because the wirings are improperly secured, and vibration during travel could damage the wire coating. If left unfixed, in the worst case, a short circuit occurs, causing the gear stuck in 3rd or incorrect speedometer readings. This recall is only for vehicles with intercooler turbocharger.
