Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler - Internal Leaks - Remove Tie Strap

MODEL:
XJS (4.OL) Range 1994 MY DATE 9/94

From: VIN 186000
To: VIN 194774

ISSUE:

Cracks resulting in leaks may occur within the transmission oil cooler causing cross contamination of transmission fluid and engine coolant on 1994 MY XJS (4.OL) Range vehicles from VIN 186000 to VIN 194774.

This failure is caused by the tie strap securing the upper and lower transmission oil cooler pipes located behind the right side of the radiator). The tension of the tie strap may amplify normal engine and road vibration causing the pipe stubs in the transmission oil cooler to rupture.

ACTION:

At the next service opportunity, on all 1994 MY XJS (4.OL) Range vehicles from VIN 186000 on, examine the upper and lower transmission oil cooler pipes located directly behind the right side of the radiator). If the transmission cooler pipes are secured together with a tie strap, cut and remove the tie strap.

WARRANTY INFORMATION:

This action should be performed during normal vehicle servicing. Therefore, no warranty claim should be submitted.
