Hazard

Improper press processing of elements (belt segments) that compose the metal belt in the continuously variable transmission causes concentrated loads at the element root during vehicle operation, potentially resulting in crack initiation and fracture. Fractured fragments may become lodged between the metal belt and pulleys, causing the metal belt to fracture and rendering the vehicle unable to operate.
