RJ-2539-0

The oil cooler hose for the CVT of certain vehicles may crack from the inside due to improper manufacturing process. If this problem is left unattended, the cracks may progress to the outer surface because of the inner pressure of the hose. If this occurs, there will be an oil leak, and in the worst case, the vehicle would stall.
