Known issues on the 1992 DeVille. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the power train axle assembly: the upper transaxle oil cooler hose can pull out of its crimped coupling at the transaxle end of the line assembly, and if the coupling separates, the resulting oil leak can ignite and cause an engine compartment fire. Owners have filed 169 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the transaxle oil cooler line or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1992 DeVille.
THE UPPER TRANSAXLE OIL COOLER HOSE CAN PULL OUT OF THE CRIMPED COUPLING AT THE TRANSAXLE END OF THE LINE ASSEMBLY.
IN THE EVENT OF SEPARATION OF THE COUPLING, AN OIL LEAK CAN OCCUR WHICH, WHEN EXPOSED TO AN IGNITION
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW UPPER TRANSAXLE OIL COOLER LINE TO THE TRANSAXLE.
