Pilot Bushing Recall

So I noticed some red tranny fluid leaking on the garage floor, I thought the color was appropiate being Christmas and all

So called the dealer in the morning, they had time to check it, one hour later she was in the shop.

The service rep tells me there is a recall on it, I wasn't aware of it, its a pilot bushing, Service Campaign #200812008.

So it turns out this was the issue that was causing the leak.

Compliments to my dealer for getting me in so quickly and fixing it in the same day!

Happy New Year to all!!!
