The problem
The upper transaxle oil cooler hose can pull out of the crimped coupling at the transaxle end of the line assembly.
The risk
In the event of separation of the coupling, an oil leak can occur which, when exposed to an ignition source, could result in an engine compartment fire.
The fix
Dealers will install a new upper transaxle oil cooler line to the transaxle.
