TypeStatutory Recall (government-mandated recall)

Defect

The rubber oil seal that retains hydraulic pressure in the 4th-gear clutch of the automatic transmission lacks sufficient strength. Continued use allows cracks to develop in the seal, causing hydraulic pressure to drop and the clutch to slip. As a result, the vehicle may fail to accelerate even when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the oil seal with the corrected part and inspect the clutch. If the clutch surface shows discoloration, replace the clutch assembly with a new unit.
