What is wrong
IF THE COUNTERSHAFT OIL SEAL IS SUBJECTED TO EXTREME OIL PRESSURE VARIATION, THE COUNTERSHAFT OIL SEAL MAY BE SPLIT, ALLOWING OIL TO LEAK. LEAKING OIL CAN COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE REAR TIRE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN TRACTION REDUCTION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
COUNTERSHAFT OIL SEAL WILL BE REPLACED AND A MODIFIED "OIL PATH BODY" WILL BE INSTALLED TO REDUCE THE OIL PRESSURE AT THE COUNTERSHAFT OIL SEAL. REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
