## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2007287](/recalls/tc/2007287.md), 2007-09-05: Powertrain. On certain vehicles, 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 cooler lines may disengage from the transmission, causing a transmission fluid leak and loss of power to the drive wheels.  If leaking transmission fluid contacts the catalytic converter, it may pose a risk of fire under certain conditions.  Correction: Dealers will tighten the transmission cooler line attachment bolt.
