Hazard
In vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions, the torque converter turbine blade root has an improper shape. Repeated high-load operation can cause the braze joint at the blade root to separate, resulting in turbine blade deformation. Continued operation in this condition reduces power transmission efficiency and, in worst case scenarios, the turbine blade may fracture, rendering the vehicle inoperable.

自動変速機搭載車において、トルクコンバータ内部のタービンブレード付け根の形状が不適切なため、高負荷運転を繰返すと、当該付け根のろう付け部が剥離し、タービンブレードが変形するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、動力伝達効率が低下し、最悪の場合、タービンブレードが破損し、走行不能となるおそれがある。
Remedy
For all vehicles, confirm the automatic transmission manufacturing number. Replace the complete automatic transmission with a corrective unit if the corrective part has not been installed.
