Hazard

In the continuously variable transmission (CVT), (1) the dust seal structure of the transmission section is inadequate, causing dust to induce poor slider sliding in the transmission section, which may prevent gear shifting. In the worst case, if shifting becomes fixed at high gear, the electromagnetic clutch may fail to engage during start-up, resulting in loss of driving capability.

無段変速機(CVT)において、 ①変速部の防塵構造が不適切なため、ダストにより変速部のスライダが摺動不良となり、変速できなくなることがある。そのため、最悪の場合、高速側で変速が固定された場合には、発進時に電磁クラッチが締結されなくなり、走行できなくなるおそれがある。

Remedy

All vehicles: Replace the continuously variable transmission with a corrected unit.
