At ambient temperatures of -10° F or lower subject model vehicles equipped with auxiliary transmission coolers (NHB) sales code, when driven at highway speeds, may begin losing transmission fluid. This fluid loss is due to the transmission oil cooler "freezing" and restricting oil flow through the system, resulting in overheating of the fluid in the transmission case
