Hazard
The breather valve located on top of the hydraulic automatic transmission has an inadequately designed rollover oil-leak prevention mechanism. This can cause abnormal internal pressure buildup in the transmission, leading to oil leakage from the transmission oil seal, potentially resulting in loss of driving ability.

油圧自動ギヤ式変速機の上部にあるブリーザーバルブにおいて、当該バルブ内にある横転時オイル漏れ防止機構の設計が不適切なため、当該変速機の内部圧力が異常上昇し、当該変速機のオイルシールからオイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、走行不能になるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace the breather valve on all vehicles with a corrected part that does not include the rollover oil-leak prevention mechanism.
