Hazard

In the torque converter of the continuously variable transmission (CVT), improper manufacturing of the internal bearing results in an uneven sliding surface. During use, this unevenness causes abnormal wear and potential fracture of the bearing. Bearing fragments may scatter inside the torque converter, generating abnormal noise. If operation continues in this state, fragments can become lodged within the torque converter, potentially causing engine stall during stopping and preventing vehicle restart.

自動無段変速機(CVT)のトルクコンバータにおいて、内部ベアリングの製造が不適切なため、摺動面に凹凸があり、使用過程で凹凸により当該ベアリングが異常摩耗して破損することがある。そのため、ベアリングの破片がトルクコンバータ内部に飛散し、異音が発生し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、最悪の場合、破片がトルクコンバータ内部に噛み込み、停車時等にエンストして発進できなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the torque converter with a serviceable unit on all vehicles.
