Hazard

The reduction gear manufacturing process of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) was inappropriate, resulting in cutting burrs remaining in the oil passages of the affected gears. Continued use may cause these burrs to jam in the transmission control valve, illuminating a hydraulic control malfunction warning light and potentially causing poor acceleration or unintended rearward motion immediately after shifting from R to N range.

無段変速機(CVT)のリダクションギヤの製造工程が不適切なため、当該ギヤのオイル通路に切削バリが残存しているものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、当該バリが変速制御バルブに噛み込み、油圧制御異常の警告灯が点灯して加速不良、またはRレンジからNレンジにシフトした直後に後退するおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a non-defective unit on all vehicles.
