Hazard

The metal belt-type continuously variable transmission (CVT) contains elements (links) whose separation following press machining is improper, resulting in deformation of some element bodies. This causes concentrated stress at the element root during driving, leading to crack initiation. In the worst case, fracture occurs and fragments become wedged between the metal belt and pulleys, causing metal belt fracture and loss of drivability.

ベルト式無段変速機(CVT)の金属ベルトを構成している駒(エレメント)のプレス加工後の切り離しが不適切なため、エレメントのボディ部を変形させたものがある。そのため、走行時の負荷がエレメント根元部に集中し亀裂を生じ、最悪の場合、破断して破断片が金属ベルトとプーリーの間に噛み込み、金属ベルトが破断して走行不能となるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the continuously variable transmission with a serviceable unit on all vehicles.
