In extreme driving situations, transmission oil might leak, spilling on to the road or coming in contact with hot engine components and creating a fire risk. This increases the risk of a crash and injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.Also, the maximum levels of CO2 and exhaust gas emissions may be exceeded.
