This condition may be due to residual transmission fluid trapped between the front module and transmission case joint during the assembly process. Clean the area thoroughly and reevaluate with the vehicle at operating temperature before attempting any leak related repairs.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191102-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10191102-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10191102","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER","year_from":2020,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_explorer","2021_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"EXPLORER POLICE INTERCEPT","year_from":2020,"year_to":2021,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_explorer","2021_ford_explorer"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-150","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_f-150"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"AVIATOR","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_lincoln_aviator"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
