Ford has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2008 Ford Explorer.  They stated that on certain sport utility vehicles equipped with the 4.6L engine and 6R transmission, the bolt securing the transmission oil cooler line fittings at the transmission may not have been sufficiently torqued during vehicle assembly.  As a result, the bolt may loosen and the transmission oil cooler lines may disengage from the transmission, causing a transmission fluid leak.

If leaking transmission fluid contacts the catalytic converter, it may pose a risk of fire.  Dealers will inspect and have the transmission cooler line attatchment bolt tightened free of charge.  Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
