Early in the process, the coolant catch tank overflows with a brown fluid (green coolant and red tranny fluid). This happens because the tranny fluid is kept at a higher pressure than the coolant. Eventually though, coolant will make it's way into the tranny and destroy it.

Many MDX, Pilot, Ridgeline, and Odyssey transmissions failed due to faulty radiators too. The tranny fluid cooler is located inside the radiator (unless a towing package was installed). If a crack develops internally, or via the concentric O-rings on the connectors for the tranny lines, the trany fluid mixes with the coolant.

so if they recalled will my 02' i just bought have the repair , or not what would you think ? would the recall give me right to return and demand upgrade on trans ?

All trannys on the 03 mdx are peices of shit, cost me 4000 to replace.
The 2001 and 2002 had a recall due to faulty design. 2003 was updated but still prone to failures.
